Only in Firefox.

  1. Open Firefox Browser
  2. Add to Twitter Embeds and a paragraph
  3. click on sibiling inserter to add a block

Bonus bug, if you add a paragraph at the end of the page you are not able to add any other blocks to your post. (Already reported issue #7006)

Expected behavior
Insert a new block

I can reproduce this in Firefox Developer Edition 62.0b2 (64-bit) on MacOS 10.13.5.

Looking into it now.

I'm just poking around right now but disabling https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/master/components/tooltip/index.js#L131 fixed it in Firefox.

EDIT: That's not entirely true. Disabling that and forcing the inserters to always be visible:

// editor/components/block-list/insertion-point.js
render() {
	const { isInserterFocused } = this.state;
	const { showInsertionPoint, showInserter } = this.props;

	return (
		<div className="editor-block-list__insertion-point">
			{ true && <div className="editor-block-list__insertion-point-indicator" /> }
			{ true && (
				<div className={ classnames( 'editor-block-list__insertion-point-inserter', { 'is-visible': true } ) }>
					<IconButton
						icon="insert"
						className="editor-block-list__insertion-point-button"
						onClick={ this.onClick }
						label={ __( 'Insert block' ) }
						onFocus={ this.onFocusInserter }
						onBlur={ this.onBlurInserter }
					/>
				</div>
			) }
		</div>
	);
}

Makes it work. 🤔

FYI: git bisect shows 7dff9bd is the culprit here (I suspected).

Given forcing the inserter to stay open fixes the bug… I wonder if the bit in the commit about "Hide the outline when we click the in between inserter" is why this is happening, but I'll have to look more later.

The same issue happens in the latest Safari on macOS.

This PR partially fixes #7508. It is an alternate version of #7525, though much the same.

In #7220 we introduced a new behavior for the sibling inserter, which requires a click on the plus in the center as opposed to just clicking between two blocks.

Turns out it was sort of a race condition between onClick and onMouseDown, the latter which fires first. So in a way, the Firefox and Safari behavior of selecting the block (which is selected onMouseDown) as opposed to clicking the sibling inserter was the correct one.

This PR "fixes" it by also making the sibling inserter use onMouseDown. But in addition to this, it uses onClick as well, so it's still keyboardable.

The net effect is that both work, with the added benefit that in Firefox and Safari, the block that you're hovering isn't briefly "selected" when you're clicking.

* Use the onClick handler for mouseDown

* Fix issues in Firefox and Safari

Turns out this issue has been present in some hidden form for a long time, and _partially fixed_ in Chrome. But there has always been a race condition, it looks like, between onClick, onFocus and onMouseDown.

This commit simply adds the "onFocusInserter" action to the onMouseDown event as well, which seems to solve the issue.

You still briefly see the block being selected and the toolbar appearing in Firefox and Safari, but at least this can work as a hotfix pending further investigation or improvements.
