Description
Refs: https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/issues/45105
When viewing a post that contains Gutenberg WordPress embed blocks in the Android reader, the content can be cropped and misaligned.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a post on a test site and add some Gutenberg WordPress embed blocks. Link the blocks to WordPress posts that will generate preview cards.
- View the post in the Android reader.
- Compare the post in the reader vs the post on the site. Notice that the bottom of the card is cropped.
Depending on the card, this might look okay, or it might end up cropping the site logo beneath the card image. In any event the border around the card is cropped, and the content is shifted to the right (like there is a left border).
My expectation is the full card would be shown and appear inline with the rest of the content.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the Android reader with a post containing Gutenberg WordPress embed blocks linked to posts that generate preview cards. Compare the reader with the site; done means the full card, including its border and site logo, is shown without cropping, horizontal shifting, or misalignment.
