Setting the block description does nothing and doesn’t show up when picking a block in gutenberg back-end editor.

@Emmanuel - I seem to remember some discussion about this in another topic, but I can’t track it down now. I just tested it with Desktop 7.05 and see that, while the {{blockname}}.php file looks complete, the {{blockname}}.js file doesn’t include the “description” attribute.

PHP file looks okay

But no description in the JS file ☹

I also tested this on the WordPress Plugin 1.0.6 and had the same result, but I was too lazy to check the files.
