 Hello,

 While testing **WordPress 6.8 Beta 3 / RC1**, I noticed that the Page
 editor UI has changed and now behaves similarly to the Full Site Editor
 (FSE). The entire template — including the header, footer, and the **Title
 block** — is displayed within the editor.

 In this new flow, when the **Title block (post-title)** is placed inside a
 **Template Part** or a **Reusable Block** for design consistency, the user
 can no longer edit the page title directly from the Title block area in
 the editor.

 == Steps to reproduce ==
  1. Create a Template Part or Reusable Block containing a **Title block
 (post-title)**.
  2. Insert that Template Part or Reusable Block into the header area of
 the Page template.
  3. Go to '''Dashboard → Pages → Add New''' or '''Edit''' an existing
 Page.
  4. The Title block appears visually, but clicking on it opens the
 Reusable Block edit mode instead of allowing the page title to be edited.

 == Expected behavior ==
 Users naturally expect to edit the page title directly from the **Title
 block (post-title)** displayed in the editor.

 == Additional Information ==
  * This issue did not occur in Beta 2 and started happening from Beta 3.
  * Editing via '''Appearance → Editor → Pages''' works as expected — the
 Title block is editable there.
  * The issue is also reproducible with the official **Twenty Twenty-Five**
 theme.
  * I believe it’s not uncommon for themes to wrap the Title block in a
 Template Part or Reusable Block to maintain consistent design across
 pages.

 == Environment ==
  * WordPress Beta Tester plugin installed
  * Bleeding edge channel / Beta & RC Only selected
  * Current version: **6.8-beta3**

 Since this change might impact many themes following similar design
 patterns, I wanted to ask if this is the intended behavior or a regression
 introduced in Beta 3.

 If this is not the right place to report, I’d greatly appreciate it if you
 could point me in the right direction.

 Thank you very much for your attention!
