Text block bottom space uneven due to grid

Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hi,

I was unable to find something about the uneven bottom space of text blocks and I'm surprised because it major consistency problem.

In this example with screenshots attached:

  • I create a text block that has 5 lines of text, it takes 4 rows + bleeds into the spacing so it includes a full row as bottom margin.
  • Now I create a text block that has 3 lines of text, it takes 3 rows so the text height is 3 rows.

This means the first block of text has 1 row as additional bottom spacing and the second has a random half row as bottom spacing. When you code a website it doesn't matter if the paragraph has 3 or 5 of text, you set an automatic bottom margin of N pixels and it'll be the exact same everywhere.

And this is what I want, the same margin everywhere. Because if I have 2 sections with title + text + image as picture and one has a longer text then the spacing between the text and the image is different between the sections.

Since it looks like it's based on this grid system I was unable to change that with CSS. Maybe by targeting a specific block ID but that would be a freaking ton of work to do it for dozens of blocks on several pages which would break if I need delete and recreate that block or something.

It looks like I'm hitting that 768px breakpoint which I saw online creates spacing issues between desktop size and mobile so maybe there is something there, I don't know.

I have the basic subscription. Thank you for your help

Yes! I keep running into this issue. Spacing multiple text blocks, in my case a list of features, creates uneven spacing between the text blocks. It's maddening.
