Hi @bradhogan,

Thanks for raising this issue and sharing the video!

Block spacing refers to the space between blocks, either vertically or horizontally. For example, Group and Stack blocks have vertical spacing between them, while Row blocks have horizontal spacing. In your case, vertical spacing is applied between the blocks.

The idea of top, left, right, and bottom applies to padding and margins, not block spacing.

I noticed that the icon in the UI currently shows top spacing, which could be misleading—it should represent both top and bottom spacing. I’ll work on fixing that.

Thanks again, and feel free to reach out if you have any further questions!

Thanks for the issue , i have tested the issue and it seems to be resolved.

Regarding above now the icon has been removed so there is no confusion for the users i guess.

Thanks for the report.

Block spacing controls the gap between inner blocks, not per-side spacing. If you still see this on the latest version, please reopen with written steps to reproduce and the block markup you used.

Closing this for now.
