Migrate pattern list item titles to Text from @wordpress/ui

[kushagra-goyal-14]

What?

Part of: #77265

Migrates pattern list item titles in block-patterns-list/index.js from a <div> to the Text component from @wordpress/ui.

---

Why?

This change is part of the ongoing effort to standardize typography across the editor using shared primitives from @wordpress/ui. Replacing ad hoc elements with Text ensures consistency and alignment with the design system.

---

How?

• Replaced <div className="block-editor-block-patterns-list__item-title"> with <Text>
• Kept existing className to preserve styling
• No additional layout or structural changes introduced

---

Testing Instructions

1. Open the block editor:

   /wp-admin/post-new.php
   

2. Open the Inserter (➕ button) and switch to the Patterns tab.

3. Verify the following:

   • Pattern titles render correctly under each pattern preview

4. Inspect the DOM

As mentioned in #77265 (comment), please update the PR description to include more details (especially around testing instructions) and a comprehensive before/after screenshots.

Hi @ciampo, I’ve updated the PR description to include detailed testing instructions and added a section for before/after screenshots.

Also, since the Text component renders a <span> by default, I used the render prop to pass a <div> so the original layout and styles remain unchanged. Let me know if you’d prefer sticking with the default element instead.

From the “After” screenshot alone, I’m wondering why the height is 18.2px. Based on the body-md line-height and it being a block-level element, shouldn’t the rendered height be 20px?

@jameskoster, you’re right, as it looks like the issue was due to caching when I captured the earlier “after” screenshot, which is why the height appeared incorrect. Updated with a fresh one, and now it correctly reflects the applied changes (including the expected classes and styles).
Thanks for pointing that out!
