Gutenberg Editor Fail

    I am trying to create a two column layout. In the second column, I’m trying to place a classic editor with a bullet list. I can save the list and view the page and all is well. When I go back to edit the page it wants me to convert the block to HMTL. I select resolve and then convert to block, but it just makes it an HTML block. This HTML block will fail to show when I reload the page. If I create a bullet list in a classic block that is not in a column it works. So far the only way I can get a bullet list in the second column is to create in an HTML from the start.

    This sounds like a weird bug — let me see if I can find if it’s already been reported yet.

    Can you tell me more why you’re using the Classic block with a bullet list, instead of using a list block? Is there something missing that the Classic block solves?

    Head’s up, look like this issue has been reported: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/12674

    Hopefully there will be a fix soon 🤞

    Why would I what to keep changing blocks? That is an inefficient way to edit text. If I am using a word processor I don’t have to keep inserting different type of formatting blocks. I don’t need a heading block, then a paragraph block, a list block, etc. As I was using Gutenberg this became very evident to me a seems like a fundamentally flawed concept.

    In practice, I’ve found the flow of writing to be much the same — faster, even — than the Classic Editor. Do you ever use the / command? Makes it so you never need to use a mouse while formatting your text.
