Description

Currently right align doesn't play nice with the %width selections, and also doesn't float to the very edge of the page. This seems to be an issue with the way browsers deal with floated items with width applied. I couldn't find a fix for this other than moving to a flex layout, but not sure what the implications of moving from a float are in terms of backwards compat with themes, etc.

To test

  • Check out this PR
  • Add a search block. If no alignment options then nest the block in a group and they should appear
  • Set right alignment and a percentage width and check that it displays as expected. Also check on frontend
  • Also check centre and left align

This is ugly, but the RichText component adds a minWidth of 1px as an inline style with no option to specify a custom width, if we go with this approach we should probably add a minWidth prop to this component, the native version has this. FYI, this min width setting is only needed to make right align work on 20% width.

We could simplify this a little if we add a div wrapper around the label and search input box and assign the %width to that instead of having to add it to both those elements, and this would also get around the label richtext box min width issue.

I think I found something odd. Aligning left causes the .wp-block element to sit over the subsequent sibling block:

May-14-2021 14-47-14

I tested with image and heading blocks with the same results.

I can only seem to fix it by adding height: auto; to .wp-block[data-align="right"]
