📌 FINDINGS/SCREENSHOTS/VIDEO
Just to add to the clarification...
In the editor: The block resets to almost a completely "default" looking state. It shows 3 posts, and they all have this repeated generic content ("Post Title", "The post excerpt") in addition to showing no image.
On the published page: Everything displays as normal.
This also happens when you covert the block to a reusable block, and any time you then add that reusable block!
📌 ACTIONS
- Bumping priority down to Normal for now. While this looks bad in the editor, the front-end behavior is preserved. There are also many other options of ways to show post content and other ways to reuse those blocks (like templates). Both of those lower the overall impact a bit IMO!
- Transferring to the Newspack repo 👍 (it's a Newspack block)
