If you accidentally highlight another Block with your curser and then move it back, the above controls are gone, as shown here:

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

  1. Add two paragraphs.
  2. Highlight some text without leaving that Block and you should be able to make the text bold, italic, or add a link.
  3. Highlight some text and leave that Block temporarily. Then move the cursor back up to the highlighted text and the bold, italic, etc options will be gone.

Here is a recording of that for clarity:

    Thanks for reporting this @eoinsav!

    This seems to have been resolved here: #38821, so I'm closing the issue. Feel free to reopen if you can still reproduce.

    I am still able to recreate this on a few sites.

    I can also no longer recreate this in WP6.3.

    I'll close it once again - but if there are instances where it still can be reproduced, please re-open with additional details.
