common.css sets font size for all <p>

[wputler]

Line 308 of wp-admin/css/common.css has the following

p,
.wp-die-message {
	font-size: 13px;
	line-height: 1.5;
	margin: 1em 0;
}

This is setting formatting for all <p> on the site.

Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the ticket.

Unless I'm missing something, that file is only supposed to be loaded in the admin and not on the front end, so that rule sets a base font size for all paragraphs in the admin area.

Appears to be introduced in [26072] / #25858, setting the version accordingly.

Could you elaborate a bit more on what is the issue here? Does it still happen with all plugins disabled and a default theme (Twenty Twenty-Two) activated? Could you share the steps to reproduce it on a clean install?

I went back to troubleshoot and it is indeed a plugin problem. I am sorry I submitted a bug report before thoroughly vetting. The plugins hadn't changed, but one was old enough that it caused the problem when WP updated.

No worries, thanks for the follow-up! Glad you were able to identify and resolve the issue.
