New description:

 When the Classic Editor is selected as the default editor in the Writing
 Settings, the sortable metabox container on the post/page edit screen
 includes an extra 4px of padding. This results in a 4px misalignment of
 the metabox container with Classic Editor and other UI elements on the
 page.

 Debugging confirms that this padding is only applied when the Classic
 Editor is active. Since it serves no identifiable purpose other than for
 these metaboxes, it can be safely removed to restore alignment. This
 change was originally introduced in Changeset [61646].

Comment:

 [61646] added the 4-pixel padding to sortable metaboxes in the dashboard,
 classic post editor, and media editor.

 Then [61759] set the dashboard widgets' padding to 0, which does not seem
 necessary if the padding is removed from all of them.
