Brackets are being read as a shortcode

[karmatosed]

This is an interesting note, when you use [ brackets ] in something you aren't always signifying a shortcode. Gutenberg gets a little keen when it sees this. Is there anything we can do to ease this?

[karmatosed]

Closing as see #3806 has this covered.

@karmatosed I don't think this is the same issue?

[ellatrix]

Reopening. I think the best thing to do here is get all registered short codes and match any of those instead of anything in between brackets.

Ah thanks for clarification @iseulde

Just to be clear, it seems the issue is that, for instance, text containing [bracket] that isn't already a Gutenberg block (no wp: comments around it), will show the classic editor and then when converted to a block change into a shortcode block even though no valid shortcode for that exists, right? I can reproduce that but I wasn't quite clear if that's what this issue is describing.

If I type [brackets] into an empty new block, an existing block, etc. I don't see Gutenberg try to change it to a shortcode...

See also #5695. I think we might have fixed the worst part with #6329. What is currently broken here?

@karmatosed anything pending here?

I can't replicate in latest version so lets close.
