There were some issues with the block sidebar:

  • The active style looked a bit overwhelming.
  • The button-group control lacked a little style.
  • The Width/Height controls for an image were offset.

This PR addresses those.

Note that I expect all of the above to receive additional polish. #18667 offers additional avenues to refining how each of these controls look, behave, and are positioned well in the sidebar. I consider this PR a minimal first step towards making it less broken, but not the endgame step.

I wonder if we should remove that rule just like that. It has implications on all sidebars (and all other places where we use multiple controls in a row like the entities save modal) (multiple controls in a row) including in third-party blocks.

I'd rather override it personally where we have horizontal controls today.

I responded in #20608 (comment) — best I can tell it's either dead code or ill-advised. In all my web-inspecting, the rule was almost always overridden.

The way to space base controls, I would suggest, is simple:

.components-base-control {
	margin-bottom: $grid-unit-20;
}

While you can achieve the same with the following:

.components-base-control + .components-base-control {
	margin-top: $grid-unit-20;
}

That's a far more roundabout way of doing it. And given margins collapse regardless, the former seems much more the correct way of spacing things.

I guess the .components-base-control .components-base-control__field bottom padding makes this rule a bit redundant. I'm actually ok removing it now.

Should we remove the rule from the table block too? (it's overridden there)

I'll remove it there and ship. Thanks for fast review!
