Description
I created a "Body Content" matrix block with a "Body" matrix block, however when I add the first Body Content block, it just keeps spinning and won't let me add any body blocks at all. This breaks only when I choose the View mode to be "blocks", when it's "cards", it works as expected. Unfortunately it doesn't trigger any errors I can see in a console or network tab
Steps to reproduce
- Create a matrix within a matrix field and set both fields view mode to be "blocks"
- Add to an entry type
- Try to add blocks
Expected behavior
Block are added as per Craft 5
Actual behavior
CMS won't let me add any blocks
