Child Navigation default background with Dark Header

[courtneyr-dev]

WordPress 6.0 RC1, Twenty Twenty Two, Theme Unit Test Data installed.

What problem does this address?

Default installs with Twenty Twenty Two active + child navigation item have a default background of white font on white background. The default header is a dark background. I can't see the child navigation text without first adjusting the navigation block background color.

What is your proposed solution?

All navigation block backgrounds should Inherit the same background color as the default header. This should not be transparent.

Great find @courtneyr-dev
I am not sure if that's a Gutenberg issue, though. It looks to me that this needs to be fixed via Twenty-Twenty-Two theme, I filed a trac ticket as well.

Folks chatted about this issue in a Core triage session today.

Leaving a note here because follow-up testing on the Core ticket (comment from @carolinan) mentions that the issue is with link color specificity in the Editor.

The Core ticket is still open because a workaround is being discussed.

Can confirm that this is still an issue in current Gutenberg trunk (14.0.3+).

This should be fixed by #44578.

Tested it again this morning and yes, it has been fixed.
Using WordPress 6.1 Beta 3 alone didn't fix it. It only is resolved after installing Gutenberg Nightly (includes 14.3 RC).
