Nice PR. Appreciate it's not directly part of this work, but does the Dashicon affordance really need a custom off-grid margin value? Should we make that 8px too? |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I haven't been able to test, however it seems like this would break in RTL contexts.
FYI, we have an RTL switcher tool right inside Storybook for testing this 🙂

Furthermore, the button component appears to have an iconPosition prop, which at the moment seems to do nothing — even if set to right, the icon still shows up on the left
The iconPosition prop currently only works when the text is provided via the text prop and not as children, like this.
The Button component is a mess right now to begin with (#44042) so I'm ok with merging incremental fixes (i.e. half-measures) as long as it doesn't mess things up further. This PR doesn't fix the icon+text case, but it fixes the icon+children case and doesn't break anything else. So I think we're good to go once we have a changelog entry 👍
The footprint of dashicons are 20x20 vs 24x24, so the margin has to be plus the extra pixels to vertically align if you mix and match. I do think there's a place where we retire the dashicons support here, but that's separate. |

What?
Primary and secondary Buttons have an awkward padding when both an icon and text is provided. You can see this in Storybook, or in this PR: #46014:
By default, the button has 6px top/bottom padding, 12px left/right padding. But when a button
has-icon, that padding becomes a blanket 6px:This PR fixes it, by providing a 12px right padding, baked in:
Adding this padding, at a glance, seems safe enough since the code a few lines down applies the following:
That is, the component already assumes a left to right reading direction, with the icon on the left.
I haven't been able to test, however it seems like this would break in RTL contexts. Furthermore, the button component appears to have an
iconPositionprop, which at the moment seems to do nothing — even if set to right, the icon still shows up on the left: https://wordpress.github.io/gutenberg/?path=/story/components-button--default&args=icon:more;iconPosition:right;variant:primaryAs is, this PR will improve things for primary and secondary buttons, and does not tackle the problem of RTL or iconPosition being broken. However it would be good to follow up on those.
Testing Instructions
Perhaps easiest to test in storybook.
