Heading can't start with a number followed by a dot

[bikegremlin]

I usually write article headings numerated, like:

1. Introduction
2. Point

2.1. Sub-point
etc.

With the WordPress 5.3. it is impossible to start a chapter with say:
1.

etc.

It automatically switches to numbered lists. Even though I had chosen the block to be H2, or H3 etc.

Workaround that has worked for me:

a) Write the chapter without space after the number. Like:

1.Chapter name

b) Press space after the number - "1." in this example.

c) It will instantly turn into a numbered list. NOW press backspace. It reverts to heading - tried with several WordPress installations, it gets the job done.

Hi @bikegremlin. The "1. " shortcut for creating a List block is by design. There are a few workarounds, including adding the Heading block first and then typing "1. Heading".

It hadn't worked properly, even when I would add a heading block.
However, seems to have been fixed - no longer auto-switching from heading, to a numbered list, if I start a heading with a number, like "1. Introduction".

So - as far as I can see - it's been fixed, works as it should now. :)
