Can't select a single block

Start with the setSelection API described in the linked cursor-selections documentation and reproduce the issue using identical startBlock and endBlock IDs. Check the related setTextCursorPosition behavior and ensure selecting one block works from its start through its end without throwing; verify the custom SideMenu and FormattingToolbar use case through editor.getSelection().

What’s broken?

It is not possible to select a single block via the setSelection function or seemingly any other way. Passing the same block or block id throws the error:
Attempting to set selection with the same anchor and head blocks (id ${startBlockId}).

The following also does not set the selection for the given block:

editor.setTextCursorPosition(block.id, "start");
editor.focus();

What did you expect to happen?

editor.setSelection(block.id); or editor.setSelection(block.id, block.id); should select a single block from its start to its end.

Steps to reproduce

1. Using the setSelection function pass it the same block id for the startBlock and endBlock.
2. The error is thrown, rather than the block being selected from beginning to end.

BlockNote version

0.47.1

Environment

React 18.2

Additional context

I'm currently trying to build a custom SideMenu button that on click selects the corresponding block and opens a custom FormattingToolbar that uses editor.getSelection().
