 Hi. Thanks for the report.

 I'm a regular contributor to the Navigation block so I'm well placed to
 answer this.

 From what I can tell, what you describe sounds like expected behaviour.
 Some of this is covered in these Make Posts which you might find helpful:

 - https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/08/23/whats-new-for-navigation-in-
 wordpress-6-2-and-6-3/
 - https://make.wordpress.org/core/2022/09/27/navigation-block-fallback-
 behavior-in-wp-6-1-dev-note/


 The Nav block's data (menu items) is typically a `wp_navigation` Post and
 is not stored locally to the block. We optimise for providing the most
 recently created menu which is why you are seeing this behaviour.

 If, once reading those posts you still feel there is a bug then please
 feel free to let us know and I'll be happy to dive in deeper.
