Comment:

 I agree the extra 10 pixels added to the caption content container was a
 poor decision. Such issues as post content running into caption text is
 supposed to be dealt with by CSS and themes. But it's been this way for at
 least 6 years and was a conscious decision, so we can't call it a bug. I'm
 changing it to enhancement request, as I would like to see the 10 px
 removed from the caption on principle, even though filtering it to one's
 desire is super easy.

 The issue though is most decent themes have compensated for this, so
 removing the 10 px will break many of the themes (depending on how they
 compensated in the first place) that were most carefully crafted to ensure
 the content lined up. It's a no win enhancement. But conceptually, the
 separation of content and style dictates this spacing is in the wrong
 place and should be removed. Thus, I'm providing a patch even though I'd
 be surprised if this gets far.
