 ### Bug fixes
 
+- Fixed inconsistent padding of sections in `Modal` ([#2072](https://github.com/Shopify/polaris-react/pull/2072))
 - Fixed animation for Modal when being rendered asynchronously ([#2076](https://github.com/Shopify/polaris-react/pull/2076))
 - Updated `TextField` `min` and `max` type from `number` to `number | string` to allow min/max dates ([#1991](https://github.com/Shopify/polaris-react/pull/1991))
