[Type] Bug
An existing feature does not function as intended
Description
I expect custom links within the navigation block to get the
current-menu-item
class when on that link on the site, as was the case for classic nav menus. Currently, they do not receive this class.Step-by-step reproduction instructions
current-menu-item
classFor quick reproduction, these steps are a bit absurd. The issue is more reasonably encountered when, for instance, you have a custom taxonomy. The prepared nav blocks (like Category Link or Tag Link or Page Link) do not include custom taxonomy term archive links, so you must use a Custom Link item, and the correct classes are not applied in that scenario, either.
