Captions do not adhere to image alignment

	img:not([style*="object-fit"]) {

	// Preventing space under linked images; the wacky structure is to avoid affecting images from migrations that may not have ideal markup.

I had this code in the Customizer, but I don't think it's the cause of this issue:

/* Fix image/caption alignment bug in Safari */

.entry-content .wp-block-image > figure > figcaption {
	display:table-caption;
}

It may have been an outdated interim fix before #1382 was merged.
