List Block: No Visual Nested Indent

    Hello,

    WordPress.com Support advised this issue is theme-specific to Twenty Fifteen and directed me to this forum.

    The List Block fails to visually render nested lists created via the tab key or toolbar controls. Although block breadcrumbs and underlying HTML accurately represent the nested structure, the user interface should display the corresponding indentation.

    I’ve thrown some screenshots in a gist: https://gist.github.com/rey/eca6b738af6a68ae166f8bd5331ad991

    Thanks,

    Rey

    Hi @rdhuny
    Thank you for reporting this.

    I tested several classic themes, and I found the CSS that prevents the nested list items from being indented in the editor.
    The CSS is not part of the theme, it is CSS that WordPress adds to set the left and right margins on blocks in classic themes to auto.
    It is a CSS specificity problem, where a style unintentionally overrides another.

    It is a valid bug that needs to be corrected, but it needs to be corrected for all (classic) themes.
    I will start by searching to see if it has already been reported.
