You are most welcome.

I'll update you here when I have news (and facts to show).

This is now released, please let me know if you can also confirm this fix?

That's great - I saw the updates come out last night and installed them as soon as they dropped. I'll try the new blocks editor and see if it solves the issue here.

So I have a mixture of layouts and block templates in this site - if I want to migrate completely to the new blocks editor, will there be any issues with just deactivating layouts plugin and replacing the templates?

I suggest referring to "The Old Vs. New Workflows" on https://toolset.com/2019/12/toolset-blocks-1-0-build-beautiful-dynamic-sites-quickly-and-easily/

We would suggest mixing the two as less as possible and focussing on Gutenberg/Blocks with new designs.

There will also be a tutorial made to understand better how to do things in Gutenberg versus the older workflow.
This, however, will require some more time.

Sorted for now.
