Gutenberg Spotlight Mode Option Affects Block Inserter Appearance

Using the Gutenberg editor with Spotlight mode turned on is the way I like to work, as many times I cannot otherwise quickly determine which block is selected.

Recently, I was viewing the Patterns tab of the Block Inserter sidebar, and it was displaying all of the available patterns grayed out, or ghosted. This made it difficult to determine what the pattern would render as on a page, and of course, clicking a pattern adds it to the page, when all I really want at that moment is to find a pattern to use. Once I know which pattern I want, then I will add it to the page.

Anyhow, I wondered why the patterns were all ghosted, and it turns out the culprit is Spotlight Mode. If that is turned off, the Patterns tab in the Block Inserter shows the available patterns in a normal, and in my view, useful way. Note that this ghosting also happens with the Block/Pattern/Reusable Block preview shown when hovering over an item on one of those tabs. Overall, this ghosting behavior is less than useful in my view.

Granted, any user could just toggle the Spotlight Mode option on/off as needed, but that is awkward, and I really think that Spotlight Mode should only affect the page or template content that is being worked on, not the sidebar.

Is this considered a feature, or a bug?
Is there a way to change this behavior without having to changing the options each time I use the Pattern tab?
Is there something I am missing here?

Thanks!
