<br> tags are added after update to 6.2.2

[errotu]

Expected Behavior

The "View all posts" link should be displayed in the author box.

<a href="https://domain.com/author/joe-doe/" title="View all posts"><br>
    <span>View all posts</span><br>
</a>

Current Behavior

The "View all posts" is not visible anymore, as it is written in white and moved outside the "button" with colored background by
tags. Now, the white font is displayed on the white background below the button.

<a href="https://domain.com/author/joe-doe/" title="View all posts">
    <span>View all posts</span>
</a>

Possible Solution

Find out what causes the br tags and remove them.

A possible (dirty) quick fix is to disable br tags via CSS:

.pp-author-boxes-meta br {
  display: none;
}

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Use the author box via a shortcode in a page template (Gutenberg Full-Site-Editing)
2. Update to Wordpress v6.2.2
3. br tags occur which didn't before

Context

As written above, the error occurred after an update to v6.2.2. I am not sure if it only affects author boxes added by shortcodes in a page template (Gutenberg Full-Site-Editing) or all author boxes independent of the way they are integrated. Please note that v6.2.1 and v6.2.2 concern security issues with shortcodes in page templates.

@errotu we don't see this issue now. Do you think it was related to the shortcodes issues with 6.2.1?

[errotu]

Yes, I think it's related to the shortcode issue. It only happens with author boxes which are added via shortcode in page templates (using Gutenberg's Full Site Editing). When I add the author box via shortcode as part of a page (and not a template), there are no additional br-tags.
