FSE: Submenus with background color inherit CSS on pages where list block is present

[syhussaini]

2023-04-18 Update - Findings show that this is not unique to Bitácora, but to any FSE theme where the submenu has a background color. Relevant Gutenberg report: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/49445 -cuemarie

Quick summary

Bitácora Theme shows submenus with additional Padding when the Page has a list of items added using List Block. The submenu appears correctly when the page without a List Block is viewed.

Please see this image for reference:

Steps to reproduce

1. Activate Bitácora theme.
2. Now add submenu items in the menu
3. Add a new page with List Block
4. Now view the page with the List Block to see the menu appear with additional padding.submenu items

What you expected to happen

The menu should appear the same as it appears when on a page without a List Block.

What actually happened

The submenu appears with additional padding.

Very similar issue reported here on Munchies theme:

• https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/issues/75244

I've been having trouble replicating but perhaps between the two I can figure this out :)

📌 FINDINGS/SCREENSHOTS/VIDEO

• I was able to replicate this on a brand new Free site, created today:

https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/27249804/232927228-998e375f-0f5e-474f-8af7-f48f346c4592.mp4

Looks like it's stemming from this inline CSS:

ol.has-background, ul.has-background {
  padding: 1.25em 2.375em;
}

Which is overriding the default padding setting for the .wp-block-navigation ul:

.wp-block-navigation ul, .wp-block-navigation ul li {
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
}

Same result on AT and Simple, tested with CTGL, Vetro, and

Digging through layers of reports on the Gutenberg GitHub repo and this should have been resolved:
