Subject: [PATCH] Remove additional side padding from blocks.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

You may have noticed that the padding left and right on a block is wider than above and below.

This was done in effort to make it simple to select the parent block by simply hovering it with the mouse. Arrow keys already traverse up to parent blocks and there's a clickthrough effect on mobile.

However in practice this additional padding has not felt sufficient, and was at the cost of some visual complexity. Instead, we'll be looking at improving parent child selection in #9628.

This PR thus reverts the style of this to how it used to be, with the same padding all around a block.

Reminder: this padding is purely visual — through negative margins, it doesn't actually affect the width of the block itself, or the margins above and below. See also #8350.
