Lots more whitespace in Latest view after upgrading to 3.5.0

I have upgraded to 3.5.0.beta1, and the latest view has a lot of vertical whitespace that it didn’t previously have in the Neutral, light, graceful, and dark themes (all the themes I have installed). Of course, I can’t undo the update to take a screen shot from before the update, but I am seeing poor alignment of icons (see the bookmark and pinned icons on the “Getting Started” topic" here), and lots of empty space in each entry.

This is a significant reduction in utility of the Latest view for me. Is this an intentional UX change in the update, or a CSS bug?

Here’s a comparison with another site running 2.4.0.beta3, showing the difference in space around the title, separating it from the category:

I updated today and this has persisted. Is no one else seeing anything like this?

@mcdanlj From what I see on your forum, it’s related to Discourse Tooltips.

It might be possible a side-effect of the update to use the topic-link plugin outlet and CSS adjustments might be missing.
I did not check much yet.

A quick CSS fix that you can try, for now:

.link-top-line > .fk-d-tooltip__trigger-container {
  display: block;
}

I had missed that when I was testing disabling plugins! Nice catch, that’s definitely it. :heart:

The CSS fix isn’t working for me (and I have confirmed that it’s being sent), but I don’t know how important the tooltips are either. :smiley:
