 The issue happens when creating or editing a post with the Classic editor.

 Whenever you switch between the Visual and Code editor, the following new
 block of content gets appended to the post body.

 {{{
  
 <div style="pointer-events: none; border: medium;"></div>
 }}}

 Every time the post is saved and the user is in the Visual Editor the
 following line gets re-appended to the post body, so we get...

 {{{
  
 <div style="pointer-events: none; border: medium;"></div>
 <div style="pointer-events: none; border: medium;"></div>
 }}}

 The only way to get rid of this code is to remove it from the Code editor
 and save the post again. However, every time you switch back to the Visual
 editor it gets added again.
