-**Button, ButtonLink:** Improve alignment of transparent buttons with icons against Text with icons
-
-To improve optical balance of a `Button` with an `icon`, the icon container is bled to the left to balance against the larger horizontal inset of a `standard` button.
-This alignment correction is now only applied on `standard` sized buttons that are not using the `transparent` variant.
-
-Isolating this alignment correction enables transparent buttons to better align with other components with `icon` slots, for example:
-
-```jsx
-<Stack space="small">
-  <Text icon={<IconSend />}>Text</Text>
-  <Button icon={<IconSend />} variant="transparent" bleed>
-    Button
-  </Button>
-</Stack>
-```
-
-Icons and text will now be perfectly aligned between Button components and others icon slots with the same text size.
