The top add block option is missing. No plus mark.

There isn’t a plus mark above the first block at the top, when we mouse over the first block, when editing pages. We have to add a block below the first block and then move it up to the top everytime. Can you fix this please?

I have a fresh install of WordPress without any plugins loaded. Twenty Twenty-One is the theme. The problem is still there even if I reload everything.

Also if it’s okay, can the a.screen-reader-shortcut tab index get a fix in this update as well?

Google Lighthouse audit:
Some elements have a [tabindex] value greater than 0
A value greater than 0 implies an explicit navigation ordering. Although technically valid, this often creates frustrating experiences for users who rely on assistive technologies.

Thanks for reporting; could you share a screenshot of this please?

Can you make it so div.block-editor-block-listinsertion-point.is-vertical is clickable as well when this missing plus mark gets fixed please? We can mouseover the whole line now but only have a tiny area for adding the block (24px x 24px). This slight tweak would be a great accessibility improvement (width x 30px).
