(Classic Block) Quote is Missing Spacing When used in Block Themes. Inconsistent Rendering Between Post Editor & Front End #101764
Description
Context and steps to reproduce
When a classic block is used to display post content containing quotes (<blockquotes></blockquotes>), in the front end, the quotes are shown in line with the other elements of the paragraph. This is inconsistent with how the post is rendered in the editor, where it retains the proper spacing.

Front End Screenshot:
The issue is replicated across multiple block themes (tested in Twenty Twenty-Five, WP-DOS, and Inversum). Happens in both Simple and Atomic sites but works fine in self-hosted sites.
Steps to Replicate:
- Choose a block theme (Twenty Twenty Five)
- Add a new post
- Add a classic block
- In the classic editor, create a post with quotes inside
- It will render correctly in the editor, but is shown without spacing in the front end

If a workaround is available, please outline it here.
A workaround would likely be custom CSS targetting blockquotes, but this will not be possible on the Personal plan. Converting to blocks appear to also work but is not an ideal workaround for users who would like to remain in the Classic block.
