Context and steps to reproduce
- Set up a Premium plan site with Bute (or Neon) theme.
- Create a header with a site title left and navigation menu right, with a search block at the end.
- Notice how if you reduce the width of the search block you can't align it to the right
- When you click the parent row it aligns right in the editor but not in the public site.
- Recreated on a test site with two different themes
