Div around Image block in Gutenberg 7.9

[ghost]

Hey, I just updated to the new version and noticed that the Image block is now wrapped in a div:

I assume this is a bug?

I believe it is a result of efforts to actually reduce and simplify the DOM in the editor to better match the frontend. Per the discussion in https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/21167/files#r398432208, there's still some work to do, and it has to do with refactoring how alignments work. In that vein, I'm going to close this ticket in favor of #20650, which has been created exactly to address this and related issues.

Thanks for the ticket!

Why doesn't it have any classes though? How am I supposed to target this block now?

[jasmussen]

I agree that div seems completely unnecesary, and I expect it will be removed once #20655 lands.

However that div is only classless when the image is block level, wide or full-wide, so in effect it should be mostly transparent, and you can continue to target .wp-block-image to style the image. This worked before, and it will continue to work both with the div, and when the div gets fixed!
