Browser loaded when Elementor Editor is requested. Pages containing flexbox and shortcode(s) are not editable using Elementor.

[mountbest]

Prerequisites

• I have searched for similar issues in open and closed tickets and cannot find a duplicate.
• I have troubleshooted my issue, and it still exists against the latest stable version of Elementor.

Description

When a (stable?) flexbox container feature is on and a saved page contains a shortcode - trying to edit such a page with Elementor fails. This page is loaded into a browser tab instead the Elementor editor.

So, pages containing flexbox and shortcode(s) are not editable using Elementor.

Steps to reproduce

1. Enable Flexbox
2. Open a (new) page with Elementor editor
3. Insert a flexbox
4. in a flexbox enter a shortcode widget with some shortcode
5. save the page
6. Try to open this page in Elementor Editor. The page gets loaded into browser tab, not Editor.
7. Page containing flexbox and a shortcode is not editable using Elementor Editor
8. Pages with shortcodes edit normally when "section-column" structure is used to insert them.

Expected behavior

1. Enter a shortcode widget with a shortcode into a flexbox
2. save the page
3. open this page in Elementor editor. Editor should open

Isolating the problem

• This bug happens when only the Elementor (and Elementor Pro) plugins are active.
• This bug happens with the Hello Elementor theme active.
• I can reproduce this bug consistently by following the steps I described above.
