One layout step walks down through boxes that stack their contents vertically. It used to continue only through boxes with no border and no vertical padding (empty space inside the edge). It now checks only that a box has no border, so boxes with vertical padding no longer stop it.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis can slightly change how some parts of the screen are laid out or where the cursor ends up.\n\n- Area: Terminal UI\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 0\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
