Research direction

Start with the linked Custom Blocks documentation and reproduce the issue in a custom alert block. Inspect the editor behavior for typed list markers and pasted content within that block. Done means typing or pasting keeps the content inside the alert block instead of replacing it.

Description

bug:P3

Description:
I have customized a block type "alert" followed by a custom block on the BlockNote homepage.
However, every time I type '-', '*', '+', '1.' or copy a text segment within the same editor, it replaces the "alert" block instead of placing the content within it.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Create a custom "alert" block as per the documentation.
  2. Type '-', '*', '+', '1.' or copy and paste a text segment within the "alert" block.
  3. Observe that the content replaces the "alert" block instead of staying within it.

Expected Behavior:
The typed or copied content should remain within the "alert" block instead of replacing it.

Actual Behavior:
The "alert" block is replaced by the typed or copied content.
