Twenty Twenty-Three: Post Meta block initially not visible when added to post

[ashleyleia]

When adding a Post Meta block to a post in the block editor using Twenty-Twenty-Three theme, the content of the block is initially not visible. The block toolbar is visible, but after clicking away from the block, the block disappears entirely.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Create a new post
2) Click the "+" add block button
3) Click browse all
4) Select Post Meta block -> block toolbar appears, but there's no content
5) Click elsewhere on the screen -> block disappears

Where the Post Meta block is expected, there's a <div> with data-title="Template Part" and a nested <div> with data-title="Pattern".

This occurs when adding a Post Meta block to a new post or to an existing draft or already-published post. The block is visible when previewing the post in a new tab, and it becomes visible in the editor after the screen is refreshed or after navigating away from and back to the post.

I'm using 6.1 Beta 1 with no active plugins, on MacOS in both Chrome and Safari.

@ashleyleia I can't reproduce the issue on 6.1 beta 2 version. can you check again?

[ashleyleia]

@nithins53 The issue is still happening for me with 6.1 beta 2. It only happens when the post meta block is added specifically via "Browse all."

The post meta is a template part, and template parts are not intended to be available in the block editor.
This will be solved once the solution for this issue is added to WordPress core ​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/44397

This was solved in ​GB-44480, and is slated to be merged into Core prior beta 3. I'm going to leave this open, but will add a suggestion to close this out as reported-upstream.

@ashleyleia if you are able, could you please test when beta 3 is released on Tuesday to confirm your issue is solved?

[ashleyleia]

@desrosj The issue I reported is resolved as the "post meta" block is no longer available. However, template part blocks can still be added in the post editor. I'll mention this and add a screenshot in ​/ GB-44480.

Thank you! Looking there it seems like this is solved as well.
