Description

As I was testing drag-and-drop with WooCommerce blocks in WordPress 6.9, I noticed dragging and dropping was a bit confusing inside the Query Loop block from Gutenberg and its inner Post Template block.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

  1. Create a post or page and add the Query Loop block, select a layout where the featured image is displayed.
  2. Try moving the Featured Image block to the bottom:

  1. Now, try moving the Featured Image block between Title and Excerpt. Notice it's not possible.
