Dot-style Separator spans two lines since updating to WP 5.8

  • Hello. I’ve often used a separator block (dot-style) between photo galleries on my blog. Prior to updating to WordPress 5.8, the separator showed three dots, centered on the post wherever I added the block.

    After upgrading to 5.8, the dot-separator now spans two lines, with two dots on the first line and one on the second. It looks like this on all posts I previously published with the dot-style separator block; and if I draft a new post, it looks that way when I preview it.

    For an example, see https://daleducatte.com/2021/07/11/lilies-on-black-backgrounds-2-of-10/.

    I’m using the same theme I was using before upgrading to 5.8 and haven’t made any changes to it.

    Is this a bug? Or should I go through and change all my posts to use a different separator?

    Thanks!

  • Could be a bug in the block CSS but you can fix it with additional CSS

    This should do it

    .wp-block-separator.is-style-dots:before {
    content: "···";
    font-size: 1.5em;
    letter-spacing: 2em;
    padding-left: 0;
    font-family: serif;
    margin-right: -2em;
    display: inline-block;
}

    OMG, Alan, that worked perfectly! And a whole lot easier than editing 100 posts to use different separators.

    Thanks very much for your help!
