Statistics Pattern Bounding Box

[Herm71]

The Statistics Pattern has a group-within a group.
The inner group is "pushed up" into the cover block above it with a transform rule.

.ucsc__statistics-content {
    position: relative;
    transform: translateY(calc(var(--wp--preset--spacing--70)*-1));
    z-index: 1;
}

When this is done, the outer group's bounding box stays the same, resulting in considerable white space between this whole pattern and the content that comes below it.

This issue is fixed with the release of WP 6.7, which implements negative margins. Using negative margins when building content using core blocks will enable users to approximate the affect of this custom pattern.

Re-opening this issue. We will look into using negative margins (now supported in the WordPress block editor UI as of 6.7.1) to recreate the overlap of the statistics grid on top of the layer above it.
