not possible to change default margin for <footer>

[thomask]

Footer element is affected by global block style (in twenty-three-theme, as probably the most others site edit gutenberg themes)

.wp-site-blocks > * + * {
    margin-block-start: 1.5rem;
}

but the footer element itself do not have option to change margin. So the only way how anyone can change/delete this margin is to add the extra definition for footer to the stylesheet, what is somehow against the gutenberg principes IMO.

the same is for header element, but there is no default margin (as this css one affect all but the first one), but i guess if there would be a change for footer block, it should be for header as well

It is a problem when you got different background for the last block before the footer - it creates a white 1.5rem wide line between this block and footer, so maybe it should be omited for footer by default anyway

Hi @thomask, thanks for opening this ticket.

This appears to be the same issue reported upstream on the Gutenberg repository: ​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/47637

Can you confirm whether this is the same issue? If so, we can close this ticket as reported-upstream.

This is still an issue. Currently using the following added css to patch. This should not be necessary.
footer.wp-block-template-part {margin-block-start:0 !important;}
