Description

Elementor V4 Flexbox Containers appear to incorrectly reuse dynamic background-image values across pages when using Featured Image dynamic tags.

Observed behavior:

First rendered page after CSS regeneration determines the background image globally.
All following pages reuse the same image.
Dynamic titles and breadcrumbs remain correct.
Reverting to legacy V3 containers resolves the issue immediately.

This suggests a cache/style deduplication issue in the new container CSS rendering pipeline.

Steps to reproduce

Create a clean WordPress installation.
Install and activate:
- Elementor (latest version)
- Elementor Pro (latest version)
Enable the new V4 Flexbox Container system.
Create two or more Pages:
- Page A with Featured Image A
- Page B with Featured Image B
- Page C with Featured Image C
Create a global Page Template in Elementor Theme Builder:
- Type: Single Page Template
- Apply condition: All Pages (except optional front page)
Inside the template:
- Add a V4 Flexbox Container
- Set the container background image dynamically using: Dynamic Tags → Featured Image
- Add page title and breadcrumbs to confirm correct page context
Publish the template.
Visit one of the pages on the frontend (for example Page A).
Go to: Elementor → Tools → Regenerate CSS & Data
Clear all caches if needed.
Reload Page A first.
Open Page B and Page C afterwards.

Observed result:

All pages display the SAME background image.
The image shown is the one from the first page loaded after CSS regeneration.
Page titles and breadcrumbs remain correct for each page.
Only the dynamic background image is incorrect.

Additional findings:

The issue persists even with:
- WP Rocket disabled
- CDN disabled/bypassed
- custom CSS removed
- custom classes removed
Replacing the V4 Flexbox Container with the legacy V3 container immediately resolves the issue.
Dynamic Featured Images work correctly again with the legacy container.

Expected behavior

Each page should display its own Featured Image dynamically as the container background.
