What?

See #50449 (comment). It's still only a draft PR for demonstration. Hopefully, when it's ready, it can fix #50449 and #43865. Related to #38181 (comment).

Why?

The growing block previews experience is a weird UX 😅 .

How?

There are no perfect solutions. We can't force every block preview to render it's full content inside a iframe, because it might have a 120vh element that keeps pushing the height of the iframe.

Instead, what this PR is trying to do is to render a "more content" indicator for previews that still keep growing after loaded.

The actual design is TBD and should be changed though 😅 . This PR is just a naive approach.

Testing Instructions

  1. Open a post
  2. Open the inserter
  3. Click on the "Banners" category
  4. Check that the "Cover Poster on Left, Paragraph on Right" pattern stops growing after a certain height
  5. And it shows a white gradient background at the bottom indicating there's more content.

Nice, thanks for tackling this.

Instead, what this PR is trying to do is to render a "more content" indicator for previews that still keep growing after loaded.

I would actually lean towards simply hard-cropping the pattern, and not showing any scrim or gradient. Keep it simple.

That could look like a bug, but I don't think users gonna notice it 😆. @SaxonF WDYT?
