Description
### Search first
- [x] I searched and no similar issues were found
### What Happened?
When typing "cmd-enter" on a exisiting block, nothing happens.
### Reproduce the Bug
1. Create a new block.
2. Hit "control-enter".
Then nothing happens.
Error console does provide some clues, I guess.

Creation of task.
### Screenshots

Research direction
Start with the db-worker.js stack trace, especially set_block_property_BANG_ and batch_transact_with_temp_conn_BANG_, and trace the task-creation shortcut from there. Reproduce the failure using the reported control-enter or cmd-enter steps and inspect the error console. Done means creating a task from an existing block succeeds without the reported property error.
