Cloudflare acquires Astro

Any reason you didn't use alpine for client side interactivity? When I went down the "use a framework plugin in Astro" route, I found it too jarring and reverted to alpine which I found worked well enough.

No, not in particular, I just like Svelte's compilation-based approach, but Alpine definitely looks nice.

When the client side interactivity is very contained and small in scope I also quite like just using plain JavaScript without a framework.

Sorry we haven't fixed this issue sooner. In this case it's a complicated CSS issue, but nevertheless I've got a fix I'm working on here:

I have a preview release ready, if you scroll down you'll see the instructions. If you're able to try it out and leave a comment on whether it fixes your issue it'd be a big help.
