Description
I'm using WP 5.7.1.
Very strange, minor bug:
Every page, except my Posts page, uses the Gutenberg editor. I'm told on the support forums that this is not normal.
The Posts page, when I enter Edit, calls up what looks like the previous-generation editor.
This persists when all plug-ins are deactivated. It even persists on another of my sites, which uses a completely different WP installation.
Unfortunately, I don't know how this can be reproduced, since I can't make it NOT happen.
Let me know what other info I can provide!

Thank you @knutsp! I suspected that that may be the case. I will officially not worry about this.

Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac and thanks for the report!
Every page, except my Posts page, uses the Gutenberg editor. I'm told on the support forums that this is not normal.
The Posts page, when I enter Edit, calls up what looks like the previous-generation editor.
Just noting that I could not reproduce this on a clean install.
When selecting a static page as a front page and another one as a page for posts, both pages display a Classic block in the block editor, see 53047.front-page.png and 53047.posts-page.png.

Not here.

Some times there is is an editable text area, sometimes not. This should probably be investigated.

The editable area is displayed if the content of the page is not empty, see [31550] / #17470.
It looks like the classic editor / block editor loading could use more investigation, though.

Should this ticket be reopened @SergeyBiryukov? Or should this investigation happen elsewhere?

I believe there was an unintended change introduced in [50693] that causes this.

Hello @DavidSortOf, welcome to Trac and thanks for the ticket!
The posts page is just a placeholder for generated content, and has no editable text content at all. Not loading the the block editor seems to be the intended behaviour in this special case.
