Gutenberg bug on Safari?

  • I recently upgraded to 5.8.1, which introduced me to the new Gutenberg editor. TO my surprise, I could not figure out how to create a new article.

    I’m working on a Mac Powerbook running Mac OS Big Sur 11.0.1, and I cannot create a new post using Safari Version 14.0.1 (16610.2.11.51.8).

    I do not have this problem in Google Chrome Version 93.0.4577.63 (Official Build) (x86_64).

    When I click on Add New Post in Safari, this is what I see, in the order that they appear on the screen: 1) Floating Social Bar Options, 2) Hide Social Bar? 3) Search Keywords, 4) Metadata by 5) Description 6) Keywords, 7) Title, 8) Speed Booster Pack (an installed plugin) 9) Preload Rules for this content 10) Critical CSS for this content (like from Jetpack), 11) Optimize JS for this content 12) Move JS to footer for this conetent 13) Document

    When I do the same in Google Chrome, this is what I see, 1) Add Title 2) Type / to add a block 3) All the same stuff I see in Safari

    IOW, both Title and content sections are completely missing from Safari.

    If I collapse all the subsections (Floating Social Bar Options, Search Keywords, Metadata by, Speed Booster Pack, then Add Title and the content section are visible. If I then expand the sections, Add Title and document disappear once I’ve expanded any three of the four sections.

    Obviously, I can work around this problem, but it’s almost certainly confusing some users on Macs, especially if they don’t have alternative browsers to test.

    The column on the right, that contains Post, Block, and Preview, etc. remains visible at all times.

    I know that Safari has some issues, may be that’s why you are seeing that. Try clearing the browsers cache.

    Clearing the caches does not solve the problem. So long as the items I listed are expanded (which appears to be the default), the post section is not visible.
