The left margin value of 18px comes from [6588], assigned to front page settings in [13971].

Adjusting for Reading Settings page and/or Export

The relevant part of ​PR 6946 proposes to increase only the Reading Settings fields' margin from 18 to 24 pixels.

1. If the margin is only adjusted for the Reading Settings page, #front-page-warning would need the same as #front-static-pages ul. The warning appears when selecting the same page for both front and post pages (and saving changes).
2. Also consider making the same adjustment(s) to ul.export-filters. Those filter option fields appear in Tools > Export when selecting Posts, Pages or Media.
3. To align with the text above, the margin would be about 24px for large screens and about 33px for the (max-width: 782px) media query. These fields do not have a different margin for smaller screens yet.

Adjusting for settings and export pages plus nested categories

61542.diff​ suggests editing the margin value from 18 to 25 pixels for multiple places in the same ruleset.

• Reading Settings page options and warning
• Export filters
• Nested categories in Quick Edit and Bulk Edit (.inline-editor ul.cat-checklist ul)
• Nested categories in the Classic Editor post meta box and/or the Menus page (at least .categorydiv ul.categorychecklist ul is in both places)

For the category lists:

1. Nested categories do not line up with the text for parent categories in the block editor either, where the margin is 16px.
2. The Quick/Bulk Edit checkboxes have an extra margin, so it would be more difficult to make them align perfectly.
3. If the Classic Editor post meta box margins are updated, #sticky-span probably would need the same margin for the "Stick this post to the front page" option under "Public" in the Publish meta box.
4. The patch on #31354 is not committed yet, but it might indent the Discussion Settings options with the same ruleset.
