Block Styles are applied to listItems instead of lists

[jonaphil]

While styling lists with the CSS-Property columns, I found the following issue:

If I want to style a list, the blockStyles are applied to the <li>-Elements instead of the <ul>-Elements.

I would expect that blockstyles are applied in this case to the list as a whole. If i want to style a listitem i would use inlineStyles. This is especially problematic with styles like columns (mdn), but with padding or margins as well.

It seems like the blockStyles are applied to the first html-Tag above the current text, where the selection is taken.

Is the description clear?
Is it possible to solve this here?

Thanks,
Jonathan
