Body element specificity still bumped

[cabrailsford]

After upgrading to 6.6.1 today, I noticed that the body element is still being wrapped as :root :where(body) for output. Is the body element not considered a top-level element-only selector?

For my instance, I have left/right padding in my theme.json to output in the editor, but am overriding that on my frontend with just the body selector to remove the padding. However, 6.6's specificity supersedes that, and so now I need to increase specificity to compensate.

If there's a reason the body element was left out of the change, I understand, but I wanted to mention it in case it was missed in the update.

Hello @cabrailsford,

Welcome to WordPress Core Trac.

This particular bug fix was not included in 6.6.1, but instead is being tracked in #61704 and is planned for 6.6.2.

I'm closing this ticket as a duplicate of #61704, i.e. to keep the discussion and resolution in one Trac ticket.
