your best bet is to install classic editor, get rid of gutenburg altogether, and never look back... even if that doesn't fix the above issue.

this is the function that's breaking: https://developer.wordpress.org/bloc...html-entities/

without being able to see the site live, i'm not able to troubleshoot further, but I'm 99% sure there's a javascript conflict somewhere.
Thank you !
I installed classic editor and suddenly I'm able to write again. A test post seems to work without a problem. Honestly, I didn't even know that the default editor was gutenburg.

We've uninstalled, installed, reconfigured apache, trouble shot java, etc. This was a royal annoying problem that no one seemed to have the answer for and that includes the shmucks that built wordpress. I absolutely will keep my eyes open for any way I can repay the favor. (Including paying it forward)
