Twenty Nineteen: File block does not respect center alignment setting

[truptikanzariya]

In the Twenty Nineteen Theme, the File Block element may not be centered correctly on the front end of the website. This misalignment can result in a visually uneven layout.

For a better understanding, I have attached a video.

Thank you.

Centered file blocks with Twenty Nineteen in WordPress 6.3 with the non-framed editor

The iframe editor does not center File block contents either

On the front end, text links are centered within the content area, but Download links are not centered

Thanks for the report!

The Center alignment setting apparently never worked on the Download link, when it is included in the File block, with Twenty Nineteen. The Download link would need to honor the Center setting in both the editor and the front end, and the text link would need centering within the editor too.

The PDF embed is the full block width, so it does not need centering. Twenty Nineteen aligns this block with paragraphs and other content blocks, not according to the page (see #58441).
