 > With the Visual Editor disabled at the moment there is still the option
 to apply styling via buttons including bold and italic styling, links,
 lists etc - I can provide screen shots if needed.

 basic editor deployed still within what looks like the Gutenberg framework
 but without any tools to add styling as there were before.

 Created a feature issue
 here[https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/12244].

 > Currently the only way I have found to restore the old functionality is
 with the following code added to a plugin or functions.php file in the
 theme:
 > `add_filter( 'use_block_editor_for_post', '__return_false' );`

 Or simpler, install and activate the Classic Editor plugin. Ok for the
 coming years,but not a permanent solution. It also makes it troublesome to
 use the block editor in combination. A permanent solution is better,
 hopefully in core.
