Font picker not reflecting correct size with custom font sizes

[mikemcalister]

Description

When a theme has several custom font sizes declared in theme.json, the global styles UI does not show the right label for the assigned font sizes. When you cycle through the H1-H6 selector, it shows random font sizes in the select label. See video below.

The issue does not affect a theme like 2025 which has the standard S, M, L, XL, XXL font size pattern. But when more font sizes are added to 2025, the issue does show.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Add several custom font sizes to theme.json (more than 5).
2. Go to Global Styles > Typography > Headings.
3. Toggle back and forth between the H1-H6 selectors and note the label in the font size drop down versus the actual selection.

Hi
I don't follow. Are you saying that the font size that is the selected font size in the dropdown does not match the font size assigned to that heading level using theme.json elements?

Nevermind, I had the sound off when watching the video, I understand now.

@mikemcalister @carolinan This should now be fixed. Can someone confirm this by testing, else I will pick this up. Thanks! 🙇
