 * The [insertBlock()](https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/data/data-core-block-editor/#insertBlock)
   Gutenberg JS function does not seem to be working as it did in WordPress version
   5.5.3. On version 5.6.x, innerBlocks[] does not always reflect the insertion 
   of the new block. Did anything change that would impact the results if the insertBlock
   function. Tried using wp.data.dispatch( ‘core/block-editor’ ).insertBlocks instead,
   but it had the same problem.

 * Hey there I don’t have an answer but did you solve this. I’m noticing a lot of
   breaking chances in 5.6 for gutenberg.
 * I’ve built a custom block generator and the block tool bar, for re-arranging 
   blocks apply bold styles etc. Is no longer clickable. Reverting 5.5.3 fixes all
   of these issues. I’m going to create a separate ticket referencing this one as
   well

 * So I ran through this list, created a new environment as well no luck. I did 
   find this warning when I click on a block for the first time. Any suggestions?

   non-passive event listener to a scroll-blocking ‘touchstart’ event. Consider 
   marking event handler as ‘passive’ to make the page more responsive. See [https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5745543795965952](https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5745543795965952)

 * Possible solution, it fixed my environment. I’d try using this github as a starter.
   It has a different component tree and it solved my problems. Just try slotting
   your code into it

 * [@nathan888](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nathan888/), I’m not looking
   for a solution that changes WordPress to comply with my code but rather a solution
   that makes my code comply with WordPress.
