Rise Button Block

I'm struggling to make the button block meet web content accessibility guidelines as they relate to button names. Buttons and links should be descriptive and unique, but with how small these buttons are, options are fairly limited. Is there a way to elongate the button?

    Hey JaredSpeight-22​!

    I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. I did fail to tell you that we were looking into it, but even better news is that this is fixed! You can now fill your elongated buttons with text.

    You can make these buttons unique, but you are correct; you currently have limited space and cannot elongate the button. However, this is a feature request, so I've shared your thoughts with the team.

    Based on what I can see in your attached image, it looks like you may already have included some guidance/instruction before this block. The text paired with the button has additional context, which meets the Level A requirement of 2.4.4. Link Purpose (In Context).

      Thanks, LeslieMcKerchie​. I noticed today that the Rise update included being able to customize the size of buttons, but the character limit didn't seem to change.
