== Reproduction Report
=== Environment
- WordPress: 6.9
- PHP: 8.4.17
- Server: PHP.wasm
- Database: WP_SQLite_Driver (Server: 8.0.38 / Client: 3.51.0)
- Browser: Chrome 144.0.0.0
- OS: Windows 10/11
- Theme: Twenty Twenty-Five 1.4
- MU Plugins: None activated
- Plugins:
* Test Reports 1.2.1
=== Steps taken
1. Create a post and add a group block with several paragraph blocks
inside it.
2. Also, add a couple of blocks outside the group block.
3. While at the top of the page, place the caret in one of the paragraphs
inside the group block.
4. Use your keyboard's down keys to move toward the bottom of the page.
5. Observe the behavior.
6. ❌ Bug is not occurring
=== Expected behavior
- The page scrolls down as the caret moves to the bottom of the editor.
-
=== Additional Notes
- This appears to be an editor writing-flow issue where caret movement via
keyboard does not trigger editor canvas scrolling when focus is inside a
Group block.
- This seems to have been fixed in Gutenberg.
