Error Messages
Not Applicable.

.flex > span:empty:after, .flex.content-item > .field-item > span:empty:after, .flex.content-item > span:empty:after {
content: '\2014\2014';
color: #808080;
Resolution
Perform the following local-change:Set the content property to blank through the below style:
.flex > span:empty:after, .flex.content-item > .field-item > span:empty:after, .flex.content-item > span:empty:after {
content: '';
}
