Inserter: patterns refresh when selecting different blocks

[annezazu]

Using 6.7 beta 1, I noticed that if I have the patterns tab open for the Inserter, it seems to be regularly re-rendering the list of patterns whenever I am clicking around the page. This sometimes leads to a "no results" similar to what's described here #65833

I am noting this as an enhancement as something to smooth out but it feels like a bug in many ways :)

Same here. Just in case, I've added it to the 6.7 board, but feel free to remove if anyone thinks it's more of an enhancement idea.

Let's reclassify it as a bug. All enhancements should be removed from the 6.7 board at this point, and I agree that it feels very "buggy".

I feel like this may be a duplicate of #65833? 🤔

Definitely related, but I do not feel it's a duplicate. I added more testing feedback in that ticket.

I might be missing something obvious, but this might be the expected behavior. When clicking around the page, we also move the focus to different blocks. Some blocks don't allow inserting patterns, thus it shows "no results." I think this becomes more visible because we no longer close the inserter when moving focus. I agree that the UI and the wording are confusing and feel "buggy," but I'm not sure what the expected behavior should be 🤔. Someone more familiar with the recent changes might be able to verify whether this is indeed a bug. 🙏

I am not sure how to achieve this from a technical standpoint, but the pattern panel should only visibly update if the available selection of patterns needs to change. Right now, it visually refreshes every time you click on something, even if the patterns that are available to the user do not actually change.

For example, in the video below, IMO the pattern panel should not visually refresh when clicking on the two blocks since the patterns that are available to the user do not change.
