Add current class to current dropdown sub menu items in Nav block

Nav styles

Hi @Louis, this definitely needs some consideration. Per your guidance we checked and the aria-current attribute is on the a tag not the li. Which means there is no way to style the current li tags for sub menus. For consistency and easy of use it will be great to simply have the current class added to the submenu li tags in the same way as for the main menu.

It will be extremely beneficial for consistency and easy of styling to have the current class added to the li of the current sub menu item.

The current workaround of targeting the a tag directly using the aria-current attribute limits the styling we are able to do to just the a tag, which excludes many possibilities that can be achieved by having control over the li as well.

Thank you!

Update: as of 1.3.3.1, while the .current class is not added, now that the WordPress classes are being applied to menu items, we can use the .current-menu-item class to style menu items more generally, so effectively, there is a working solution for this.
