Gutenberg bug?

    I have noticed recently that I am sometimes unable to edit my blog posts in gutenberg. When I want to edit a block and click inside an existing block to edit the text, nothing happens. It just freezes. If I want to edit the text, I’ll need to reload the page and sometimes that works. It seems to be buggy in recent months. I never noticed that in the beginning. Perhaps things changed during a recent update? Any ideas of how to resolve this issue? Thanks!

    There was a change in core scripts that are loaded, in WP 5.5. The jquery-migrate script is no longer loaded. This should not affect modern scripts, but if you have any old scripts that relied on it, the old script fails, which causes core scripts to not run.
    To see if this is the case for you, you can try the Enable jQuery Migrate Helper plugin and try the problem action to see if it works. The plugin will show an admin notice if it finds references to the old script. This should be fixed or replaced before WP 5.6 because 5.6 will have a new version of jQuery and a new jquery-migrate script.

    If you try the plugin and it doesn’t help or show you notices, then it’s a different problem. You can look in the browser Developer Tools for the Javascript console to see what the error is, and determine if it’s a plugin or core code.
