What?

Part of: #44401

This PR updates the Dropdown component within the Social Link block to use the placement prop instead of the deprecated position prop for its popover.

Why?

The position prop for the Popover component (used internally by Dropdown) has been deprecated in favor of placement. This change aligns the Social Link block with the current component API, ensuring future compatibility and preventing potential warnings or bugs related to deprecated code.

How?

Replaced popoverProps.position with popoverProps.placement in the SocialLinkEdit component. The bottom-start value is the modern equivalent of the previous positioning.

Testing Instructions

  • Open a new post or page in the editor.
  • Insert a "Social Icons" block and add a social link.
  • Make sure the contentOnly mode is enabled and the labels are enabled (enable Show text)
  • In the block toolbar that appears, click on the Text text on the right of the social logo
  • Verify that the dropdown menu appears correctly positioned below the button.
