1. I have forcibly set the value for the gap because only the system value of 5 pixels is always applied.

.brxe-text-link {  
gap: var(–jt-gap-2xs) !important;  
}

1. If you set up styles for the text link for the ID, then everything works. If these styles are moved to a class, they are not applied.

Hi Evgeniy,  
Thanks so much for your report!

I can’t quite follow your description, but I can’t find a problem either. Where did you define .brxe-text-link?

Best regards,  
timmse

Thanks for the additional information via DM.  
Haven’t you already reported the same problem here, or am I simply misunderstanding this report?

> The text link element fails to set gap between the SVG icon and the link. For some reason, the 5-pixel system gap has a higher priority and it is not possible to redefine it. [Screenshot\_1]

I forgot about that message already ) In this case, I wanted to put the element styles in a separate class, but it didn’t work out. Well, at the same time I wrote about the problem with the gap.

As far as I can see, the problem is identical and is still caused by the loading order.  
Your class that should overwrite the gap is located very high up. post-270.min.css, which contains the default gap, is located much further down, so your gap is overwritten.
