#65321: Global --wp--style--border--color Variable Applies Unwanted border-style:
solid to Cover Block Background Span

Priority: normal | Milestone: Awaiting Review
Component: General | Version: 7.0
Severity: major | Keywords: needs-patch
Focuses: ui, css |
---------------------------+-----------------------------
The global styles output is applying a default border-style: solid rule to
the Cover block background element even when no border is defined.
As shown in the screenshot, the following element receives the style:
<span aria-hidden="true"
class="wp-block-cover__background has-accent-2-background-color
has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim">
</span>
Because border-style: solid is applied globally, browsers render an
unwanted border even when only the border color variable exists.
Steps to Reproduce:
Create a page with a Cover block.
Apply a background color or dim overlay.
Do not set any border manually.
Inspect the .wp-block-cover__background element.
Notice inherited/global border-style: solid causing visible border
rendering.
