 * the classic editor has different behavious in long post when cut/pase/delete 
   are used with images.
 * the editor will change its position in the text eg moving away from the place
   where the action occured (moving it offscreen) and/or reverting to the top of
   the post.
 * ‘Delete or ctrl-x can behave differently to using the ‘X’
 * it’s done this for quite a while and it’s a minor annoyance

 * Hi there,
 * While I haven’t tested this issue, my recommendation is to move in the direction
   of using the block editor as it is the way to go. Can you share any context on
   whether you tried moving and had any challenges?

 * the block editor (that I am using now on this forum) is awful. Very many people
   who use wordpress 8 hours a day, like me, don’t want to use it. the classic editor
   is, on the whole, pretty good. Exceptions being the CUT and PASTE behaviour at
   times
