I tested the 57113.diff patch and like in the screenshot the submenu items now are visible. I updated the patch to only add a comment.

Hi!

@shailu25 Thank you for the report. Can you please confirm:

• In Which version of WordPress and in which version of the theme did you find the bug?
• What type of submenu is used?

I am asking because there are two types: One submenu for regular link items, and one for the pagelist block (the pages need to have child pages to show as a submenu).

This is a duplicate of https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/55697, but this ticket was closed because the problem was believed to be fixed in WordPress in 6.1:
​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/44578

---

I have tested the issue with WordPress 6.1.1 and theme version 1.3, using Chrome (Without Gutenberg active).

I am seeing two different results depending on the block type:
Link item submenu:
-In the editor, the submenu text is white on white background
-On the front, the submenu text is black on white background.
Pagelist submenu:
-In the editor, the submenu text is white on white background
-On the front, the submenu text is white on white background.

Because the problem is with the CSS that is provided by WordPress and not the theme,
the underlying issue needs to be fixed in Gutenberg and not by adding CSS to the theme.

This means that the next step is to close this issue, and either create a new issue in the Gutenberg GitHub repository, or reopen the old issue:

Hi @poena

I have tested the issue with WordPress 6.1.1 & 6.0 and theme version 1.3 but still getting submenu issue.

Submenu Type: one for the pagelist block (the pages need to have child pages to show as a submenu).

Thank you for confirming.
It seems we also can not rule out that there is a problem when using a menu that is created with a classic theme (the menu in the ​theme test data).

@poena

Getting submenu issue in new setup also. (without Theme Test Data)

I can confirm the same findings as @poena in testing. This leads me to support the recommendation to close. This doesn't mean we can't explore within the editor a solution or even reopen should testing come back with more information. Thank you everyone for collaboration on this.
