Hi @a4jpcom.
I’m still not 100% about the exact issue you are refering to but I think you mean that once you add some initial blocks there is no “inserter” (that’s the + icon) above the first block. Therefore it’s not possible to add a block above the first one.
That might be concern shared by others so I would recommend creating an Issue on Github. If you can provide screenshots or videos that will help Gutenberg contributors to look into and potentially address your issue. It can also help you to build momentum behind the need for the change.
In the short term however you might already be aware that there is an “Add above” option in the “3 dots menu” on the block toolbar.

That should allow you work around this.
I hope that helps?

If you add a block to a blank page then move your mouse cursor above it there isn’t an add block option on the mouseover.
If you have a page full of blocks you can easily mouseover the top of any block except the first block to add more.
The space between id=”post-title-0″ and the first div block of block in the div with class=”block-editor-block-list__layout is-root-container”.
I tried sending pictures and explaining it before but everyone thought I just meant the plus mark in the block that shows up.
If it also missing so it’s difficult to show.
If this explanation is clear enough this get fixed please?
The https://d.pr/i/P5hHNr link doesn’t work.

This page has a video of the inserter. The top inserter is missing.
There are also 700 pull requests in Github. Is there a team of people going through them?
I’m happy to check a few if help is needed.

Yes that does make sense. Thanks for confirming.

The Gutenberg project is part of the WordPress open source project and thus is contributed to by a large number of people – some of whom have more time to dedicate than others.
People are always looking at Issues and working through Pull Requests but with a project this large it’s inevitable that some will gain traction quicker than others.
If this Issue is particularly important to you and you have the means to do so it would be great if you could raise a PR to fix the issue.
If not then please do feel free to drop into the next Core Editor chat and raise the issue there. That will help it to get more attention.

Thank you very much for the info on Core Editor chats. I added a post there. https://make.wordpress.org/core/2021/09/07/editor-chat-agenda-8-september-2021/. Hopefully they can just copy the code from the second block and add it to the first one as well. I wonder if the code was just forgotten to be added there.
@a4jpcom I’ve pinged a very knowledgable contributor to see if they are able to provide you with any information about this issue

Thank you.
It’s gonna be great being able to add new blocks without having to shift them up all the time. Or move the top block down after adding a new one.
