Aligning Image and Heading Blocks

    Hello. Since the last WordPress update (6.7.1), the Classic Block has been totally broken!
    So, now I am trying to find another way to create nice alignments within my articles.

    At present, all I can do is put an image Above or Below a Heading, but not aligned with it!
    I can then use a Paragraph Block and wrap the text around the image, but if the paragraph text is only short, it leaves a huge white gap before the next Heading Block.

    If I use any of the available Container Blocks, there are Always massive gaps, ugly alignments, and no text wrapping possible – the Paragraph Block must sit After the image.

    I took a screenshot of a draft post showing the image, heading, and paragraph issues, but I do not know how to share it here. (I do not want to publish it to my site for everyone to see, which would give me a URL.)

    I am in Chrome, on Windows 10, using the latest WordPress (6.7.1), and I use the latest Astra Theme (4.8.11) with a Child Theme.

    PS: I really wish someone at WordPress would pay attention and fix the many problems they have created with the Classic Block! This last update was a serious and total Downgrade. My primary Block is now useless. All pasted text is split onto many smaller blocks, all bold and italics are removed (with no option to keep them), and image alignments are now a nightmare, as above!

    @gappiah Thanks for the link explaining how to upload a screenshot. I really appreciate that.

    If I was tech savvy enough to solve this problem, or worked at WordPress, I wouldn’t need to be writing here seeking help. LOL
    It was WP that broke the Classic Block, so I do hope whoever is responsible will fix what they did, or offer something that works as well, as a replacement option.
    But if my recent experience holds true, nothing will be done about it… sadly.

    In this image you can see how I cannot get the Test Image to align with the Heading, only the Paragraph. And also the huge white gap due to how the individual Paragraph Blocks no longer allow for neat text wrapping.

    The Classic Block is broken, and needs fixing or a workable replacement offered. Please.
