Trac Ticket:

Core-63571

Description

This PR addresses a UI issue in the WordPress admin area on the Edit Media screen (/wp-admin/post.php?post=&action=edit), where the right-hand sidebar (.misc-pub-section) exhibits excessive and uneven vertical spacing between metadata items when viewed on smaller screen widths.

Problem

  • On mobile devices or narrow screens, .misc-pub-section items have a 20px vertical padding.
.misc-pub-section {
    padding: 20px 10px;
}

Solution

  • Reduced vertical padding for .misc-pub-section from 20px to 10px on mobile screen widths.
.misc-pub-section {
    padding: 10px 10px;
}

This aligns the vertical spacing with mobile UI best practices and ensures a more compact, user-friendly display on smaller screens.
