Tag, Chat, and Category icons don't show up in Category or Group descriptions

AI-generated summary

The discussion addresses a visual regression where tag, chat, and category icons appear as monochrome or grey boxes instead of displaying their intended colors in Category and Group descriptions. nathank initially reported that while links were functional, the icons lacked styling, noting this issue persisted across multiple posts (3, 5, 6). NateDhaliwal confirmed the issue also affected group descriptions. chapoi suggested the problem might be specific to the meta-theme due to its use of a block outlet for category banners, distinguishing it from the Foundation and Horizon themes which appeared correct. Finally, manuel acknowledged the custom component usage in the theme and confirmed that the issue has been fixed.

I’m afraid that I’ve found another little issue with this.

Currently in Category descriptions, all # related things (tags, chats, categories) correctly create a suitable link, but appear as unexciting monochrome boxes - exactly as they used to in Posts.

In the Category description itself:

This is still an issue, and it doesn’t look great.

It is helpful to have tags, chat, and category links in category descriptions as they are super useful for navigating to those parts of the site that have a special relationship to the category.

I can’t believe that I’m the only one using them that way!

In group descriptions as well, does the category box appear grey, not its actual color.

Currently, the alignment of the less than ideal grey category icons is also out:

I wonder if this is a (small) regression due to the recent category icon changes.

This is still a problem.

And, much to my ironic pleasure, it is very obvious in this Category:

@manuel I believe this has been fixed in the base theme, Foundation & Horizon are fine afaict, but meta-branded isn’t yet – presumably because it’s using a block outlet to render the category banner?

Could you take a look or pass it on to the interrupt dev maybe?

Yes, we use a custom component on the theme.
