Article Columns Are More Compact Than Necessary

[VR51]

The columns never fill the available horizontal container space. This is because the first column item has a left-hand-side margin equivalent to the column separation between successive columns; consequently the final column (well, the whole row content) has a correlating right-hand-side margin in order to ensure the whole bank of columns in each row is aligned centrally relative to the WPSP posts' container's borders. For example, if the column border is set to 30 pixels then the whole row of columns is squished by an accumulative 60 pixels. I have to correct for this every time I use WPSP in order to ensure the bank of posts is nicely aligned within it's row container to match the rest of the site content (that does not have a, e.g. 30px, padding left/right of their containers).

If the first column in each row were to not have the left-hand column margin, the corresponding right-hand border could be removed and the whole row of posts would align better, horizontally, with the content above and below the WPSP bank of posts.

This issue occurs when using WPSP Pro, GeneratePress and the GP Pro addon.

Edit to Add: The title text when using Cover Style 2 (overlayed on the image) extends out of the background image's dimensions on small screens in which the image displays with a border/padding around it. This might be related to the above described column margin issue/feature.
