Regression: Tailwind hover tooltips no longer show px equivalents in versions 3.2.55 & 3.2.56 #58

Description

@Abdul-Hanif

After updating WindPress to 3.2.55 or 3.2.56, the hover tooltip for Tailwind utility pills stops showing the pixel conversion comment (e.g., /* 176px */). The last version where px values still appeared was 3.2.54 (2025-07-24).

This is a productivity regression because the px hint was super helpful during layout work and now we have to use an external site to do conversions (please bring this feature back).


Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install/activate WindPress 3.2.56.

  2. Use Tailwind CSS 3.4.17 with a minimal stylesheet:

    /* main.css */
    @tailwind base;
    @tailwind components;
    @tailwind utilities;
  3. In the editor, add a class such as max-w-44 (any spacing/sizing utility works).

  4. Hover the Tailwind class badge/pill to view the tooltip.


Expected Behavior (3.2.54)

Tooltip shows the rem value and the px conversion comment:

.max-w-44 {
  max-width: 11rem; /* 176px */
}

Actual Behavior (3.2.56)

Tooltip shows the rem value without the px conversion comment:

.max-w-44 {
  max-width: 11rem;
}

Notes

  • Only observed with Tailwind 3.4.17.
  • Reverting WindPress back to 3.2.54 immediately restores the px values in the tooltip.
  • Tested on Chrome 139 (macOS 15.6) & WordPress 6.8.2.

If this change was intentional (e.g., tooltip cleanup), could we have a setting/toggle like “Show px equivalents in tooltips”? Otherwise, restoring prior behaviour in 3.2.54 would be best. Designers/devs rely on quick px equivalences for grid/layout work. Losing the px hint slows iteration (we now have to manually convert or check a reference).

Thanks for looking into this and I hope you can fix this issue in the next update.
