• tl;dr
    It appears that wordpress core is not generating some semicolons in the css which can cause rendering issues.

    When reviewing a few websites I run, I noticed that some elements will randomly getting wrapped in a <b> element. I initially thought this was an issue with the theme builder I was using and posted on their forum. They advised me that this happens when there’s an opening tag missing a closing tag somewhere and provided https://validator.w3.org/ to check. Looking at all of my sites, I saw the following:

    The line and column number may differ, but the issue was the same. Looking into the css further, I saw that there were a number of properties that were missing a semicolon, always the last property of an element:

    I’ve found this on all wordpress sites, woocommerce.com, wordpress.org, etc

    I’m not sure how large of an issue this is or can be, but since I’m seeing it on every wordpress site, I figured it might be worth bringing to someone’s attention.
