Overlapping Block Tools
-
After some very frustrating Google searches I’ve come to realize I don’t know the correct WordPress lingo to find the answer I’m looking for, so I’m going to include a screenshot of the problem.

Sometimes if I have a link in the far left third of the screen, the link editing menu thing pops up over the block editor menu and I’m unable to select the “break link” option in the block editor because I can’t cancel the overlapping link editor while keeping the hyperlink selected.
HELP! This is really annoying. I post a lot of book tour content and we’re required to copy/paste the tour schedule. I like to convert the master list’s link to my index page (usually also already pre-set to open in a new window) to either not a link at all or a same-tab/window link to another post of my choosing.
I realize I can change the URL and deselect open in new window, but for some reason editing a new-window link that I copy/pasted makes all these floating menu blocks migrate around the screen, which is annoying. I also realize I can delete & re-type, but that’s also annoying.
When my link happens to fall in the right hand column of these schedule tables I can easily hit break link and re-link it manually and it’s the fastest way to make this change. I really hate that I can’t do it on the left just because these menus overlap.
