SOLVED: Editor shows no background image when using dynamic data, shows correctly in frontend

Browser: Safari
OS: macOS
Video: Link (it may take several seconds to load fully)

Recently I tried to set up a slider for custom taxonomy/categories. I added a custom field to the taxonomy for an image to use for each one, created via Meta Box. The slides are in a query loop to show a slide for each taxonomy/category. And while this displays perfectly in the frontend, it seems that there’s another gap in the way the editor shows it because it won’t show the background at all in the editor when using dynamic data for the background image.

Steps to reproduce (at least in my case):

  1. Add a nestable Slider element
  2. Add in a heading to the Slider element
  3. Select the slide and set a background image to dynamic data on a taxonomy
  4. See how this loads in the editor vs the frontend

(You may need to do the above in a query loop, not certain if that affects it yet)

In editor:

In frontend:

I’ve tried by removing the overlay but it didn’t resolve the way the background image won’t show in the editor. I’ve tried a number of different things but can’t seem to make this load properly in the editor.

This feels like a defect.
