@ndiego request for callout for #48731. This PR addresses an issue identified after Beta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process. 4. It is thought the PR thoroughly fixes the issues, but more testing would be helpful.
General testing of the Site Editor requested as a primary focus.
