Sticky Position: Hide controls if the block is non-root (has parents) #47334

Merged

What?

Part of #47043

Hide the sticky position controls if the selected block is not at the root-level within the document.

Why?

This PR explores an idea from #47230 (comment) — to reduce the complexity of dealing with sticky positioning and avoid the UX problem of applying sticky to a non-root-level block (and the user being confused as to how it works), let's hide the sticky controls for non-root blocks for now.

How?

  • Check whether or not the block has parents before adding sticky to the list of available options
  • Only render the position controls if there is more than one option available (including default)
  • Move the InspectorControls component down a level so that we only render this if there is more than one option available (this is a tiny optimisation to ensure that we only ever do the block parents lookup for blocks that use the position controls)

Testing Instructions

  • In a theme that uses appearance tools (e.g. TT3) select a Group block that is nested within another block (i.e. it is not at the root level of the document in the post or site editors). Under the settings tab, there should be no Position panel available
  • Select a Group block at the root level of the document. Under the settings tab, there should be a Position panel available
  • Minor fixes for comments (typos that existed on trunk)

Note: the logic will still display the Position controls if a value has been set, and the block is at a non-root level — this is to support backwards compat since the position feature has already landed in Gutenberg, and also enables the user to switch off the position if a block is moved to a non-root level of the document.

I confirmed that the control is only visible on root blocks.

This is an ok solution for WP 6.2, but let's not let a follow-up slip too far.
