Bantry Theme: Navigation Block lost padding between elements

[ktyfuller604]

Quick summary

Approximately a week ago the navigation block added to a page in the Bantry theme lost all padding between menu items.

Steps to reproduce

1. Activate the Bantry theme
2. Edit a Page
3. Add a Navigation block to the page and choose a menu (classic or new, I did not see a difference)
4. Preview or View the page

What you expected to happen

There should be spacing between each of the menu items. The screenshot below shows the site after custom CSS was added to add the spacing back.

What actually happened

There is no spacing between menu items. The screenshot below shows the default behavior of the navigation block.

📌 FINDINGS/SCREENSHOTS/VIDEO

• I can confirm the no spacing part. From my investigation, it seems that the gap that inherits the gap value is "normal" on their site, but it used to be 8px before.

• Not sure, but is this somewhat tied to the new GB update? cc @jeffikus

I can reproduce this for some other themes as well, including Alves and Exford.

Suggested CSS (upgrade required) or switching to a different theme as a workaround.

This happens on the old Blank Canvas theme too (The non-FSE one).
