--------------------------+-----------------------------
 There is inconsistent vertical spacing between the headings and their
 content across several Dashboard widgets, including Site Health Status,
 Quick Edit, Activity, WordPress Events and News, and At a Glance.


 == **Environment**

 WordPress Version: 7.0
 Installation: Clean install
 Theme: Default theme
 Plugins: None active


 == **Steps to Reproduce**

 Log in to the WordPress Dashboard.

 Locate the following widgets: Site Health Status, Quick Edit, Activity,
 WordPress Events and News.

 Observe the spacing between each widget heading and its first content
 item.

 Compare the spacing across these widgets.


 == **Expected Result**

 The spacing between widget headings and their content should be visually
 consistent across all Dashboard widgets.


 == **Actual Result**

 The vertical spacing differs between widgets. Some widgets have noticeably
 larger space between the heading and the first content item, resulting in
 an inconsistent Dashboard layout.


 == **Additional Notes**

 Reproducible on a fresh installation.
 No custom admin CSS applied.
 The issue may be caused by inconsistent margin or padding values within
 individual widget styles.
