Black frame on Esc in Gutenberg: can’t edit blocks
-
I used to use Escape key to select the whole block in Gutenberg and work further.
But scince not long ago, on my Esc a black (insted of blue) frane appears. Often after then I can’t go into any block and edit it.
This is really frustrating. Please see the screenshot
To keep working, I have to reload the page. How can I get rid of this effect? Seems a bug.

Looks like you’re having problem with “Select mode”, formerly known as “Navigation Mode”.
Once you’ve hit Escape to select the block, now try hitting the Enter key to start editing.
You can toggle between select and edit by pressing Escape and Enter.
Does that work for you?
Here’s an example: https://d.pr/i/3B8TWc
For context and further reading, select/edit mode has been a feature since Gutenberg 6.3.
