Can't Paste Following a SHIFT-RETURN With Gutenberg 10.9.1 Active

[katiebethbrown]

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Open a post or page in the editor.
2. Copy something (a link, etc) to your clipboard
3. Add text to a paragraph block and type SHIFT-RETURN for a new line in the same block
4. Use CTRL-V to paste the contents of your clipboard

What I expected to happen

The contents of my clipboard to show in the block

What actually happened

The clipboard contents do not appear, and I get the following console error:

Uncaught TypeError: can't access property "length", t is undefined

from index.min.js:61:1188

Context

The issue happens on the frontend of P2s, and I was able to replicate in the editor as well on Simple sites, Atomic sites, and a Jurassic Ninja site with GB 10.9.1 active. Deactivating the Gutenberg plugin on the Atomic and JN sites resolves the issue.

Level of impact (Does it block purchases? Does it affect more than just one site?)

Affects all sites with GB 10.9.1

Reproducibility (Consistent, Intermittent) Leave empty for consistent.

Able to repo across all sites.

Looks like this may be corrected with this merge to GB 11

WordPress/gutenberg#32527

I can confirm this is a problem on my end as well and on the user's.

Found a similar issue on my test site. If I copy text, then use shift-return to create a new line, I can't paste the text. I'm only able to type new text.

User reporting they cannot paste text into list blocks until they type a character first:

I can no longer replicate this with WordPress 6.6.1 and GB 19.1. Closing out!
