The description text appears closer to the title of the field that follows it, than to the field to which it refers.

The attached screenshot should make the issue clear; users associate the help text for Field One with Field Two.

The issue wasn't related to the theme, because it has the same behaviour with other default themes that comes with drupal. It was fixed on the filter module, on filter styles sheet, because there is a style defined for the description div, so I just add the margin-bottom: 1.5em style. Please see the patch drupal-form-fields-1627310-2.patch and the screenshot.

what is the default bottom margin for form item description (form item without text format)? can you add another screenshot(s) for easy comparison?

Title: Placement of description text on form fields with user-selectable input formats is confusing » Incorrect spacing on the description text on form fields with user-selectable input formats is too close

Before/after screenshots are great. But also we need to know if this is still an issue in D8.

I cannot reproduce this issue on simplytest.me too.

I will further check adding two Long text fields, with and without summary.

I added more fields, even without summary. The help text is separated from the next field either when the Long text field allows users to set a summary.

I guess this issue can be considered not reproducible. It could also be the issue has been someway fixed in the past.
