Sometimes difficult to add new entries to notebooks in layouts

[akhenry]

Summary

When attempting to add a new entry to a notebook that is contained in a layout using the + button in the notebook, the new entry input will sometimes briefly appear and then disappear. Pressing the button again will work.

This only occurs in layouts (display and flex), and only occurs when the notebook is not selected, so it's some interaction between notebooks, the selection API, and layouts.

Expected vs Current Behavior

Clicking on the + button should allow me to immediately add an entry to a notebook, even inside of a layout.

Impact Check List

• Data loss or misrepresented data?
• Regression? Did this used to work or has it always been broken?
• Is there a workaround available?
• Does this impact a critical component?
• Is this just a visual bug with no functional impact?

Steps to Reproduce

1. Place a notebook inside a layout and save the layout.
2. Navigate away from the layout, and then back again
3. Click on the + button at the top of the notebook to add a new entry
4. Observe that the new entry input briefly appears before immediately disappearing
