Can't select the embed block inside a grid

Hi
I have a grid element with embed blocks inside.
I can't select the embed block by clicking on it, only by going to the block navigator.
Please see the below video screen share which demonstrates the problem.
Any idea why this is happening?

Hi Dan,

It's not a default behavior of embed block inside Grid container, you should be able to click on the video and edit.

Not sure why it's happening, have you tried to save the page exit and come back to edit again?

Let me know :)

yes, have tried that. after clicking on the navigation element it works, but then when saving, exiting and then going back to editing the page it stops working.

If you add the youtube block directly inside the page, not under a grid container, does it work?

it doesn't work either :-(
Just by doing the block-nav menu workaround

This is in a custom post type.
When trying to edit in a regular post it does work.
So can it be related to that?

I tested on a custom post type, it doesn't work either.

I think the issue is coming from a bug from Youtube block, seems it doesn't fully support CPT.

We can't really do anything about it. I guess before they figured it out, we'll have to use the navigation.

Thanks Ying for confirming.
So I can report this to WP core? since the YT block is a core block

I tested on Twenty twenty one theme as well, it's the same.

So yes, I assume you can report this to WP :)

Good job :)
Keep us updated!

Thank you Dan!

will do, thank you!
