FSE :: Navigation Block :: Duplicate Menus.

[mdtanjid0]

Quick summary

If we create a classic menu from the customizer and then use it via the Navigation block with FSE, the menu name gets duplicated and increments with every click.

I have created a short video to explain it better:

Screen.Capture.on.2022-04-05.at.21-08-17.mp4

Steps to reproduce

1. Activate the Blank Canvas theme.
2. Create a classic menu from the customizer.
3. Assign some items there, and save the changes.
4. Go to Appearance -> Editor.
5. Take the Navigation block.
6. And Select the menu.
7. Take a look at the top. It increments with every click.

What you expected to happen

It shouldn't increment or duplicate the menu. It should show one no matter how many times we select it.

What actually happened

It increments with every click.

Workaround details

I have selected "Difficult to implement" because now it's not user-friendly, and sometimes users get confused.

There is no workaround to fix the issue, but we can still use that.

I tested this on a self-hosted site with Twenty Twenty-Two and I can confirm this happens there too.
Gutenberg version 13.0.

I believe this is the equivalent for this issue: WordPress/gutenberg#36307

• Got another report of this here: 36129348-hc

Suggested to the user that they edit their menus directly within the Site Editor instead of the Customizer.

This is solved (or at least greatly alleviated) using Version 14.2.0 of the editor. Please see WordPress/gutenberg#36307 & WordPress/gutenberg#39489

I am marking this as solved.
