Taxonomy: Delete button is misaligned

[wildworks]

This is likely due to the button height being standardized to 40px in version 7.0. I propose we take this opportunity to refactor the two buttons using a flex layout. The current approach of using line-height for alignment is unstable.

Steps to reproduce

1. Access Posts > Tags
2. Create a tag.
3. Edit the tag.
4. Check the Alignment of the delete button.

Seems like the PR description rendering broke 😅

This is reproducible from my end, when following the steps provided in the issue.

Hi, and yeah, I also think migrating to a full flex layout seems like the right choice since many files are now using display: flex, based on the grep.

I wasn’t sure how much of this was allowed in this case, so I added flex to the .edit-tag-actions.

I will check whether fully migrating to a flex layout breaks anything before I commit this.

and just to confirm, I also need to update the -rtl.css files?

The diff is working, and I also checked other places just in case, so I’m committing this.

Found the grunt cmd for this 👍🏻

The delete button on the Edit Tag screen was misaligned after the form control updates in [61645]. Switch the action buttons row to a flexbox layout for stable alignment.

Reopening #65233 to request backporting [62357] to the 7.0 branch

[tusharbharti]

Hi @wildworks, Just to confirm, should I open a backport PR for 7.0, or will the maintainers handle it?

[wildworks]

@tusharbharti, you don't need to create a backport PR. Another committer will approve the commit to the trunk branch and then commit it to 7.0.

[tusharbharti]

Got it!

Tested the fix from [62357] on WordPress 7.0 RC3. The Delete link aligns correctly with the Update button after applying the patch. The flexbox approach is clean and low-risk. +1 for backporting to the 7.0 branch.
