Description
Hi,
We have noticed a bug in WordPress that prevents any edits to the line with a <!--more--> tag if the tag is on the same line at the end, like so:
Test. <!--more--> Test2
If you enter this into Text mode, then switch to Visual mode and move the cursor right after "Test." you won't be able to insert any characters.
I tested this on 5.1 and 5.2.

Thanks for the report @archon810
Are you using any plugins, like the Classical Editor, since you mentioned Visual & Text mode?
Are there any Javascript errors in the console?
I was unsuccessful replicating this in the classical editor, in WordPress 5.2 with the Classical Editor plugin activated.

Hi,
We do have the Classic Editor plugin active. I can confirm no errors in the console.
Disabling plugins on a dockerized spin-up currently, let's see if it's any of them.

In fact, this is happening in the block editor too, with the Classic Editor disabled.
Here's a screencast demo - note that you only can't add spaces at the end there - other chars work OK.

@birgire I hope you can reproduce this now.

Thank you for the screencast and screenshots @archon810
It was helpful.
I can now confirm the error on my vanilla 5.2 install when I create a new post in the block editor, with the example in more-code.jpg
No Javascript error in console.
Space is not working just after "after" and right before "before" in more-classical.jpg

I wonder if you could verify another strange thing
- In more-classical.jpg I change
after
toa fter
with few spaces.
- Then I delete only the
a
character with thebackspace
button, so that the cursor is now at the beginning of the line (left).
- Then I press the
space
button few times and it will act like thedelete
button on the spaces to the right, until it hitsf
without deleting it.

@birgire I can confirm seeing the same thing. Nice spot - this bug is even weirder. Can we get someone to take a look at what's causing it?

I'm unable to reproduce this issue in trunk
: are you able to reproduce it there?

@pento Just tested on github master (http://develop.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/src/ is missing wp-includes/js and is all sorts of broken for me), and I can still reproduce this issue.
Hi,
Any updates on triaging this ticket?
Our writers are complaining that the read more tag inserts on the same line all the time and prevents edits as described.
Thanks.
