 > @xwolf Can you please provide steps to reproduce the issue on a fresh
 install of WordPress?
 > I don't see how the core change in 6.9 would affect inline `style`
 attributes, as it was only about inlining external stylesheets in `STYLE`
 elements.


 Damn, I cannot reproduce it yet on a new fresh install ;(

 Our multisite hosts about 800 websites, and its initial installation was a
 few years ago. However, it has always been updated to the latest WordPress
 version, and we didn't have any issues with missing CSS until version
 6.9.0. Do you have any tips or suggestions on where I could look more
 closely?
