 * On the Post editing screen, I’ve experienced on multiple websites with Block 
   Visibility 2.5.0 that the Visibility panel doesn’t close and is open as the editor
   loads.

 * Hi [@theframeguy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theframeguy/),
 * Thank you for reaching out. This change was intentional in version 2.5.0, which
   modifies the Visibility panel to function more like other native setting panels
   included in WordPress 6.1+. A complete breakdown of the changes in 2.5.0 and 
   the rationale is available in the [release notes](https://blockvisibilitywp.com/block-visibility-2-5-0-and-pro-1-6-0-release-notes/).
 * In brief, after upgrading, the Visibility panel will display all enabled controls
   as well as default controls. However, you can configure the defaults in the plugin
   settings to determine which controls are visible on each new block, or you can
   remove defaults altogether. Personally, I am a fan of zero defaults, and then
   you can manually set the controls you need for each block.
 * I apologize for any inconvenience this change has caused. However, one of the
   founding principles of Block Visibility was to look and feel as much like WordPress
   as possible. The plugin should be a natural extension of Core functionality and
   use as many native components and design patterns as possible. While 2.5.0 includes
   a pretty big visual change to the Visibility panel, it does provide more configuration
   options and mirrors Core panel functionality.
 * Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
 * Best,
    Nick
