 * Hello!
 * I recently noticed a problem in Gutenberg editor (stable release) currently using
   5.6.4 version of WordPress and Neve theme.
 * When I try to add a link to a text/paragraph via the menu or via ctrl+k, the 
   whole block breaks and throws “This block has encountered an error and cannot
   be previewed” error.
 * At first, I tried to disable all Gutenberg blocks plugins to see if it’s them
   causing the problem, but nothing helped.
 * After I disabled Rank Math and cleared the cache, the problem was gone and everything
   worked fine. When I re-enabled Rank Math and cleared the cache, the problem started
   happening again.
 * I was able to find some info about similar problem with different SEO plugin 
   and apparently it can be caused by how wplinks scripts are handled by the plugin.
   Not sure if it helps.

 * Hello [@richv22](https://wordpress.org/support/users/richv22/),
 * Thank you for contacting the support and sorry for any inconvenience that might
   have been caused due to that.
 * We couldn’t reproduce this issue on our setup with the stable ( & also with the
   beta ) version of Rank Math and the latest version of Neve theme.
 * Here is a screencast:
    [https://i.rankmath.com/Gr4hCN](https://i.rankmath.com/Gr4hCN)
 * There was an issue where the copied link was not showing the Preview modal. We
   have fixed it in the [beta](https://rankmath.com/kb/version-control/#beta-updates)
   release which you can try. Also, please update WordPress to the latest version.
   You are using v5.6.4 & the latest version is 5.7.2
 * Hope that helps.
