📌 SCRUBBING : RESULT - Replicated / Could Not Replicate / Uncertain

• Tested on Simple – Replicated
• Tested on Atomic – Replicated
• Replicable outside of Dotcom – Yes

📌 FINDINGS/SCREENSHOTS/VIDEO

• Replicated on Simple, Atomic, and self-hosted site with Gutenberg 15.4 activated
  • deactivating Gutenberg allows the borders to be hidden as expected

Screenshots/Recordings

Selecting a specific cell in the inspector (<td>) reveals the following CSS:

.wp-block-table td, .wp-block-table th {
  border: 1px solid;
  padding: .5em;
}

With Gutenberg 15.4 deactivated on my Pressable site, the table borders respond as expected:

📌 ACTIONS

• Assigned to Apex
• Added to ‘HE Cross-repo Watchlist’ project board
• Reported in Gutenberg GH Repo: [Block] Table - Border width 0 does not remove cell borders in Gutenberg 15.4 WordPress/gutenberg#49594

Should be addressed in Gutenberg 15.6: WordPress/gutenberg#49603
