VideoPress: Left- or right-aligned videos have a width and height of 0

[jp-imagines]

Impacted plugin

Jetpack, VideoPress

Quick summary

Very similar behavior to #39354 (VideoPress blocks in a Stack block) and Automattic/wp-calypso#98355 (VideoPress blocks in a Row block). When the "align left" or "align right" options are selected, the video iframe is forced to a width and height of 0, making the video not render on the live site.

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new page/post.
2. Insert a VideoPress block and upload or insert a video.
3. In the block toolbar, change the block's alignment to "align left" or "align right."

What I expected:

The video should be aligned to the left/right of other content, as it is in the editor.

What actually happens:

The video's iframe element has width and height attributes forcefully set to 0, so the video does not display on the live site.

Severity

Major

What other impact(s) does this issue have?

No response

If a workaround is available, please outline it here.

Columns blocks can be used to achieve a similar alignment without using the "align left"/"align right" settings.
