Title box problem in the post editor

[marcorroma]

Description

Hi, I have this problem. I try to explain myself.
It has happened to several of my colleagues that while writing a post it is no longer possible to change the title of the post editor Gutenberg.
Even if the title was changed a few seconds earlier.
This happens both if you want to edit a post, and if you want to create a new post.
Clicking on the title box does not show the cursor.
No problem if I try to edit the post text.
Is this a known problem?

I noticed that the title code in the editor has been changed. Maybe it is a problem related to this?

i have this problem since i updated to the latest version of wordpress 5.9.1. Until a few days ago, version 5.8.3 was used.

My colleagues and I are using Chrome, version 99.0.4844.51

Thank you

Hi, @ellatrix

You fixed this or a similar issue with content editable, if I remember correctly. Is it something we should or can backport into a minor release?

Hi, the problem is recent and has not been solved.
I am waiting for a solution ...

I've run into the same issue recently using 5.9.2 in Chrome. I just found out that if I go into developer tools and manually set contenteditable on the h1 tag I can rename the post, fwiw.

Thanks, but I hope this bug will be fixed by the Wordpress developers

Thanks for reporting. Are you able to reproduce this after you have installed and activated the newest version of Gutenberg that is available through the Gutenberg plugin?

Hi, I don't use the Gutenberg plugin. I can't reproduce the problem now.
I don't usually post, but my colleagues post from different PCs and they have this problem.
Even today they report this problem to me, after updating to Wordpress 5.9.2.
It is a problem that is encountered not always, but only sometimes.
How can I solve the problem? Or how can I reproduce the problem?
PS. I can't disable all plugins, if I did I would risk the job :)

Note: this issue has been reported also on Trac, see https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/55244 and can be reproduced on latest trunk with no plugins activated. It appear to happen after selecting all blocks with Ctrl (Cmd) + A.
It would be great to confirm this has been fixed in latest Gutenberg.

Maybe related: #38820

It's the exact same problem. Thank you

Thanks @marcorroma ; could you edit your issue's title to something that more clearly describes your issue like "Unable to edit the post title in the post editor?

[skorasaurus]

thanks for the detailed reproduction instructions in the trac ticket;

Like @afercia ; I am able to reproduce this consistently when the gutenberg plugin is deactivated; but I am unable to reproduce this when Gutenberg plugin ( 12.7.2 ) is installed and activated.

Would whatever fixed this be worthy of 5.9.x inclusion?

[Mamaduka]

My best guess is that this PR fixed issue #38821. But it would be nice to get confirmation from @ellatrix.
