Title: Block Navigation tool missing functionality Last modified: August 26, 2020 --- # Block Navigation tool missing functionality * [detroitwidget](https://wordpress.org/support/users/detroitwidget/) * (@detroitwidget) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/block-navigation-tool-missing-functionality/) * Hi Guys, * In WordPress 5.5, the Gutenberg “Block Navigation” dropdown tool in the page editor’s top toolbar no longer indicates the active selected block. * In WordPress 5.4.2, the currently selected block was prominently highlighted in the Block Navigation tool with a light gray background. * This is critical functionality. Will it be fixed? * Thanks. * Host: WP Engine PHP 7.4.6 WordPress 5.5 No active plugins Twenty Twenty theme 1.5 Chrome 84.0.4147.135 on Mac Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * [Animesh Gaurav](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bizanimesh/) * (@bizanimesh) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/block-navigation-tool-missing-functionality/#post-13321496) * Hi [@detroitwidget](https://wordpress.org/support/users/detroitwidget/) * Thanks for your note. I’m not sure I follow what you’re saying, could you provide a little more detail? A screenshot would be super helpful as well. * I’ll do my best to help. 🙂 * Thread Starter [detroitwidget](https://wordpress.org/support/users/detroitwidget/) * (@detroitwidget) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/block-navigation-tool-missing-functionality/#post-13324764) * Hi Animesh, * To clarify … * In the first screenshot linked below, I’m using WordPress 5.4.2. The “Fran Acadia” Profile Box is the currently selected block in the page editor. That Profile Box is also highlighted in the Block Navigation dropdown tool. * [https://d.pr/free/i/GLvkF5](https://d.pr/free/i/GLvkF5) * In the second screenshot (beloW), I’m using WordPress 5.5 with the same block selected. As you can see, the selected Profile Box is not highlighted. This UI change makes it very difficult to tell which block is currently selected — Especially when working with many nested blocks on long pages. * [https://d.pr/free/i/Kt2APW](https://d.pr/free/i/Kt2APW) * Thanks for helping. * [Animesh Gaurav](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bizanimesh/) * (@bizanimesh) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/block-navigation-tool-missing-functionality/#post-13325159) * Hi [@detroitwidget](https://wordpress.org/support/users/detroitwidget/) * Thanks for providing the details and screenshots.

You will be able to see the changes once it is officially released. 🙂 * Thread Starter [detroitwidget](https://wordpress.org/support/users/detroitwidget/) * (@detroitwidget) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/block-navigation-tool-missing-functionality/#post-13330305) * Thank you Sir. I appreciate the help. * [Animesh Gaurav](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bizanimesh/) * (@bizanimesh) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/block-navigation-tool-missing-functionality/#post-13331161) * Hi [@detroitwidget](https://wordpress.org/support/users/detroitwidget/) * You’re very welcome! I sincerely appreciate your understanding in this matter. Please feel welcome to reach out to WordPress.org support forums with any questions you may have and we would be more than happy to help. 🙂 * [Stephen Bernhardt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sabernhardt/) * (@sabernhardt) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/block-navigation-tool-missing-functionality/#post-13352891) * [@detroitwidget](https://wordpress.org/support/users/detroitwidget/) I should note that the styling changed, though (if you haven’t noticed already). * While the functionality returned in 5.5.1, the current block is indicated by inverting the icon colors (white against black) instead of adding the light gray background behind text. It may become more obvious in a later version. * [Animesh Gaurav](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bizanimesh/) * (@bizanimesh) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/block-navigation-tool-missing-functionality/#post-13353819) * Thank you so much [@sabernhardt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sabernhardt/). That’s looking perfect and clean. 🙂 * [@detroitwidget](https://wordpress.org/support/users/detroitwidget/) Please update your WordPress to 5.5.1 and you would be able to see the changes now. 🙂 Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) The topic ‘Block Navigation tool missing functionality’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [highlighting](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/highlighting/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 8 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Animesh Gaurav](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bizanimesh/) * Last activity: [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/block-navigation-tool-missing-functionality/#post-13353819) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
