Link UI obscuring linked text in Site Editor

[getdave]

In the Site Editor (only) when a new link has been created the resulting link preview is placed on top of the linked text. It should be offset as it is in the Post Editor.

Replication Steps

• Open Site Editor
• Navigate to Pages
• Choose any page to edit
• On that page add a paragraph block
• Link some text and create the link
• See the link preview obscures the linked text

Is this only with Twenty Twenty Four?

Is this only with Twenty Twenty Four?

Oh wow. Yes it is! It seems it only happens in TT4. What's going on there I wonder and is this a bug with that Theme?

[jeryj]

Maybe it's something with the default template files? If you save the template, the popover is positioned correctly. The bug seems isolated to unsaved (default) templates within TT4.

I verified this is not specific to the Link UI because the text highlight does the exact same thing:

I'm suspicious of useAnchor.

Ok I cannot replicate this any longer. I checked against RC2 and Gutenberg trunk. Possibly some kind of build error. It's very unusual.

Going to close.
