Thanks for the clarification. I’m a very long term WP user – I can’t remember a change that has resulted in such wholesale breakages of existing pages / themes / workflows. The appeal of WP is its simplicity.
Given the plethora of page builders on the market already, this should be an exception to their rule or, even better, released as a featured plugin. They don’t force Jetpack into core; they shouldn’t force this either.
Just to add – I am encountering the same issue on one of our websites. I’ll see if turning off scanning stops this behaviour.
