Bug Fixes
- Fixed duplicate filter blocks in custom-select dropdowns not showing checked state (namespace scoping issue with Interactivity API)
- Fixed `s` URL parameter being removed on manual submit when the search input is empty, breaking search page context
- Fixed filter-text clear button auto-submitting when the parent Filters block has autoSubmit disabled
- Fixed WordPress 6.9 Interactivity Router disabling unrelated stylesheets after filter navigation, breaking carousels, backgrounds, and other content outside the query loop
- Fixed category_name and tag array query vars causing warnings in WordPress core functions
Improvements
- Custom-select dropdowns now auto-close on radio selection (filter-terms, filter-orderby, filter-woo-rating, filter-woo-stock)
- Default Order panel on Query Loop block uses ToolsPanel UI (always visible, consistent with Display panel)
- Default Order panel now syncs bidirectionally with filter-orderby block and editor preview
- Default order for inherit-mode queries stored in wp_options via REST API (no longer requires block attribute)
- Global Search: clicking outside no longer collapses the panel when quick links or results are visible
- Search input clear/submit button colors now inherit form input text color
