 Description:
 When editing a template (e.g., a single post template) in WordPress and
 adding a Cover block, the option to fix the background image
 (has_parallax) is available only when a static image is selected manually.
 However, if the Cover block is set to use the post’s Featured Image
 dynamically, the controls for fixing the image disappear entirely.

 Steps to Reproduce:
 Edit a template (e.g., a Single Post template) in the Site Editor.
 Add a Cover block.
 Set a manual image → Notice that the "Fixed Background" (has_parallax)
 option is available.
 Switch the image source to "Use Featured Image" → The Fixed Background
 option disappears.
 Workaround:
 A temporary workaround is to:
 Add a static image first.
 Enable the "Fixed Background" option.
 Then change the source to "Use Featured Image".
 The background remains fixed but cannot be adjusted afterward.
 Expected Behavior:
 The Fixed Background option should be available and functional when using
 a Featured Image as well.
 Users should be able to toggle this setting regardless of whether the
 image is static or dynamic.
 Suggestion:
 Adding the Fixed Background (has_parallax) control when the Cover block
 uses a Featured Image would improve consistency and usability.
