The expected layout controls for selecting\/configuring the layout type are missing from the inspector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Container itself appears to work correctly. The&nbsp;<strong>\u201cChange Layout\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;button in the block toolbar works and opens the&nbsp;<strong>\u201cSelect a container layout\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have already tested the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Created a completely new page and inserted a brand-new Spectra Container \u2192 same issue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rolled back Spectra Blocks from\u00a0<strong>1.0.5 to 1.0.4<\/strong>\u00a0\u2192 same issue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disabled other plugins for testing \u2192 issue remains.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cleared\/reloaded the browser cache \u2192 no change.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No relevant JavaScript runtime errors are present.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The native WordPress Group block displays its layout controls correctly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also checked the Spectra Container registration in the browser console:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><code>wp.blocks.getBlockType('spectra\/container')?.supports?.layout<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It returns, among other values:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><code>allowSwitching: true<\/code><br \/><code>allowSizingOnChildren: true<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the Container appears to be registered correctly and layout switching is enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Could you please confirm whether the missing layout controls in the right-hand inspector are expected behavior in the current Spectra Blocks version, or whether this is a bug?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-19001190","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/19001190","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/19001190\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19001190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
