Please help us test menus in the Customizer to fix any remaining edge cases!<\/li>\n<li>More robust<strong> list tables<\/strong> with full content support on small screens and a fallback for the primary column for custom list tables. We&#8217;d love to know how these list tables, such as All Posts and Comments, work for you now on small screen devices.<\/li>\n<li>The\u00a0<strong>Site Icon<\/strong>\u00a0feature has been improved so that cropping is skipped if the image is\u00a0the exact size (512px square) and the media modal now suggests a minimum icon size.
