  Hi I noticed that as of the latest WordPress update, when I select the Preformatted WordPress block then Edit as HTML, the block toolbar disappears. I don’t have a way of switching back to visual block editor.

  Are you referring to the blog ivanitlearning.wordpress.com?
  What are you trying to achieve when editing the preformatted block as HTML?

  Hi I was trying to post text as it appears, there had to use [pre] tags. After the update I found that I could no longer switch back to the visual editor for those blocks.

  However I think I could still achieve the same thing with the HTML block. Just noting that the block toolbar is missing for the preformatted block.
