Page List Block: It becomes unclickable on single and page templates - Proxied only

[iamtakashi]

Quick summary

In WP.com, the page list block is unclickable on at least the single and the page templates (there could be more. I didn't test all the templates that could exist). It remains clickable on other templates such as home.html, archive.html, 404.html, and search.html so far.

@supernovia initially found this site with Creatio 2 active (link), but this turns out to be not a theme-specific issue as I can replicate it with other themes such as TT3 and Enroute.

I can see this CSS is preventing it from being clickable, but this is supposed to be only for the editor in Gutenberg. I'm not sure what is happening here.

.wp-block-pages-list__item__link {
    pointer-events: none
}

Steps to reproduce

1. Open a test site that has a few pages.
2. Activate a block theme such as TT3 or Creatio 2
3. Go to the editor and make sure the Navigation block has the page list block.
4. Go to the front of the site.
5. Click one of the pages to open the page. (you could also open a post)
6. Try clicking the same navigation item from the page list block
7. Notice that the cursor is not the pointer and that you can't click the item.

What you expected to happen

It should be clickable all the time.

What actually happened

Hovering it does not change the cursor, and it's not clickable on the page or the single template.

Impact

All

Available workarounds?

No but the platform is still usable

I can confirm it actually works in Organizer ? But it breaks in Archeo and Creatio 2

It sounds like there were some leaky styles from the comments block-editor interface. I'm not able to reproduce this anymore, even while proxied. I do have the block-editor comment UI, so I think something must have been fixed in the time between Nov 2023 and now.
