Description

Hell Team,

I have checked "Latest Post" block and found that there is some spacing issues between "Block Post Title" & "Block Post Content" when we change post content from "Excerpt" to "Full Post". There should some space between post title & post content.

I have checked this into various themes and here I have provided its screenshots.

Thanks,

Hello @viralsampat-multidots, @ndiego , I suggest adding the same CSS to the .wp-block-latest-posts__post-full-content class as we have in the .wp-block-latest-posts__post-excerpt class. This should add consistent spacing between the post title and post content in the latest posts block. I’ve added a diff to resolve this issue; please review it, and if it looks good, I’ll proceed with raising a PR.
