You can change

wp-embed-aspect-1-1

to

wp-embed-aspect-1

to fix layout issue by extra CSS value text box. However, the edited css is restored on next edit. i.e. The changes cannot persist over updates.

There are 2 bugs, I suppose.

Blocks cannot move at once. Blocks can cut & paste though.
It’s nicer, if drag and drop is supported.

Since many users are furustating, you may want to add following feature

• Disable block highlighting and give limited access to current block by toolbar.

The UI should look like older UI. It should be optional setting, IMO.

Besides technical advancements, “block based editing” has great advantages.

• More focused editing. When writing articles, writers are interested in “the block” they are writing. New UI can access block type/etc directly.
• Shortcut by “/”. By typing “/” in the new block, writer can choose new block type easily.
• More controls and features by block. Block supports many types – inline, common, style, layout, widget and embed. Having the same ability with old UI would result in messy UI.
• Blocks are reusable. No more cryptic special tags for them.
• Blocks are movable. Writers often want to move paragraph when editing article. Moving element is a lot easier and precise.
• In place HTML editing by block. Sometimes writers want to edit in HTML mode, new UI allows to edit “the block”‘s HTML only. Old UI has to find where the HTML for the block, then edit html.
• Block opens window for more features. Adding new useful feature is easier, isn’t it? I’m existing to see such plugins.

New block based UI allows more focused editing while it allows feature rich editing with clean/simple UI. Nice work. Users should be able to get used to it and realize its advantages.

Some plugins are not compatible with new UI. I guess that’s the reason why so many users are not satisfied with new UI. Time will resolve compatibility issues, hopefully soon.
