Site Editor: Replace Template Part option missing from List View Options if block not selected

[csabarakasz]

Quick summary

When I want to replace a Header Template Part in the Site Editor, the replace header option only shows up in the floating menu, not in the List View.

Steps to reproduce

1. Click List View > three dots next to Header:

2. Click List View > Select the Header > click the three dots from the floating menu > Replace Header options is there:

If I remember correctly, it used to be there at both places.

What you expected to happen

The option would show up at both block setting menu.

What actually happened

Only show up on the floating menu.

Impact

All

Available workarounds?

Platform (Simple and/or Atomic)

Simple, Atomic

Logs or notes

In Gutenberg 15.8 the Block Settings menu was rearranged. I wonder if it is connected

📌 SCRUBBING : RESULT - Replicated / Could Not Replicate / Uncertain

• Tested on Simple – Replicated
• Tested on Atomic – Replicated
• Replicable outside of Dotcom – Yes

📌 FINDINGS/SCREENSHOTS/VIDEO

• My tests show that Replace Header appears in the List View menu as well, but only if you've selected the Header template part. If you have something else selected, then click the ... button next to the Header Template Part in List View, Create Reusable Block appears instead of "Replace Header".

@csabarakasz as this is a different issue, it should be reported separately rather than in the comments here. I've created this report:

This comment provides some good insight into the underlying issue here. This issue may remain for the time being, as it's a bit more complicated and less impactful than other issues in the works at the moment.

I can't replicate this using WP 6.6.1 and GB 19.0:

I'm also not seeing any recent reports here. Happy to reopen and have folks investigate if we can get more up to date steps.
