Description

Hi

I created a new Post for my blog by copying the content of 2 emails from Thunderbird v.115.6.0 into a blank Post. None of these emails contains anything remotely resembling a Tweet-button, but the resulting Post has a Tweet-button in the lower right corner of the Post. And this button cannot be removed...! At least I cannot see any way of removing it.
This is really a weird bug! It confirms to me how fundamentally hopeless and flawed WordPress is...
You can see the Tweet-button here:

The "Component: Editor" field below mentions the Gutenberg Editor. I don't know if my WordPress installation uses Gutenberg. It uses the wpastra.com theme (including Spectra).

I have attached a document containing the 2 clipboard clips of Thunderbird emails, that I inserted in the WordPress Post editor, resulting in the creation of a non-removable ”Tweet”-button in the lower right corner.

Hi there and welcome to WordPress Trac!

For help with issues specific to your site, we usually recommend asking in the support forums to get assistance.

In this particular case, you appear to be using a blockquote block from the "Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg" plugin, or better known as Spectra. So yes, you appear to be using Gutenberg. If you want to remove the Tweet button in Spectra's blockquote block, please ask in that plugin's support forums for help.

I'm closing this issue because it's not a bug in WordPress itself, but related to a third-party plugin.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
