Cover block does not show Media Settings (fixed / repeated background) when the featured image is used in Site Editor

[kavyagokul]

Description

When we use a Cover block with the featured image instead of the Post Featured Image block in Site Editor > Single template, the Cover block does not show the Media settings so the fixed background effect cannot be used.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Insert a Cover Block and set Use the featured image
2. There are no Media Settings.
3. When I add an actual Media, they show up.

Im not sure if there was issue as i don't see featured image uploaded in provided video in description. However, Its works fine in latest version of Gutenberg. @t-hamano I think we can close this issue.

This problem should be reproducible with the latest Gutenberg. The important thing is to insert this block outside the post context. For example, if you insert this block inside a Query Loop block in the Post Editor or Archive template, it will identify which post it is, so the actual image will be displayed, and the media settings will be displayed.

However, in the case of a single template, the editor is not dependent on a specific post, so the placeholder is always displayed. As a result, media settings are not displayed.

It's hard to say whether this is a bug or an improvement, but I think it's best to leave this issue open.

Confirming this is still the case when using the cover block in a single template and setting it to use a featured image.
