Carriage Return moves focus to bottom of page; bold text removes the following space

[PrmyApps]

After I paste formatted text into a block, I have to reinsert carriage returns between paragraphs. When I do this, the Gutenberg editor repositions focus to the bottom of the page so that I have to scroll back up to the insertion point.

Also with 4.9.8 there is a new bug. If I paste in text that has a word that is bold or bold-italicized, then the space following the word is deleted. So I have to reinsert the space.

Hi @PrmyApps. Thanks for reporting this. Sorry for the delay in responding, things have moved a long way since this ticket was made!

Just for future reference, Block Editor issues are being reported over in github - ​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues.

This ticket was discussed during a triage session in slack (this link will require a slack account - ​https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RQBWTW/p1585199139167300).

We tried reproducing the issues against the latest version of the editor and found:

• Content was divided up into blocks successfully (I tried an article from wikipedia, and headings and paragraphs were created correctly.)
• On pasting, the page scrolls down to the end. This seems consistent with other editors (e.g. google docs), so I don't this can be considered a bug.
• On pasting, the caret/cursor is in the wrong position. This is being tracked in this issue - ​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/5317.
• Bold/Italic formatting and spaces are retained.

So it looks like most of those issues have been fixed. Hopefully things are working a lot better for you now.

I'll close this issue. But do reply if you're still experiencing issues.
