 * Hey, been using Elementor for a while. The custom gap option in the Basic Gallery
   widget doesn’t save properly, it resets to default every time I refresh the editor.
   Is this a known bug in v3.35?

 * Hi there,
 * Thank you for reporting this.
 * We tested the Basic Gallery widget and the custom gap setting on our side in 
   a clean environment, including a fresh install with Elementor only, and we weren’t
   able to reproduce the behavior. The value persists normally after updating and
   refreshing the editor. At this time, we also don’t see any related bug reports
   for v3.35 that match this specific issue.
 * Because of that, this is most likely caused by a conflict rather than a core 
   Elementor issue. In many cases, this kind of behavior can happen when a third-
   party plugin, theme optimization feature, or custom script is overriding saved
   widget settings or injecting styles after save.
 * To help narrow it down, you can try switching temporarily to a basic theme like
   Hello Elementor and disable all other plugins except Elementor. Then check if
   the gap setting still resets. If it works normally, re-enable your plugins one
   by one until the source of the conflict is identified.
 * If possible, sharing a short screen recording or screenshots of the behavior 
   would also help us better understand what’s happening in your setup.
 * Additionally, please ensure that your Elementor and Elementor pro are both updated
   to the latest version. We always recommend to update to the latest one as not
   only would you be able to use the new and enhanced features, but also new versions
   fixes bugs that were present on the older ones.
 * Let us know if there are any further questions about this.
 * Best regards,
