-------------------------------------+-----------------------------
In the media frame (e.g., when clicking "Add Media" in the editor), there
is an inconsistency in the left padding between buttons (e.g., "Add Media
File", "Bulk select") and the select dropdowns (e.g., "All media items",
"All dates").
Current padding values:
- Buttons: `padding-left: 10px`
- Select dropdowns: `padding-left: 8px`
This creates a visually misaligned UI where the text inside dropdowns sits
`2px` closer to the left edge compared to buttons.
=== Expected Behavior ===
Both buttons and select dropdowns should have consistent left padding for
better visual alignment.
=== Actual Behavior ===
The select dropdown has `8px` left padding while buttons have `10px` left
padding, causing text misalignment when these elements appear side by
side.
=== Screenshots ===

=== Proposed Solution ===
Update the left padding of the select dropdown in `media-views.css` from
`8px` to `10px` to match the button padding.
