“Read more”, “Excerpt length” and “Hide custom excerpts on post pages”

“Read more”, “Excerpt length” and “Hide custom excerpts on post pages” settings are not working correctly with post made with BLOCK editor (as compared to posts made with WYSIWYG editor).

I could not verify whether posts made with MARKDOWN editor as the rendering process would fail (see my other post)
- Publii v.0.38.2 (build 14204)
- Windows 10
- Themes tested so far: Simple v.2.3.1.0, Sources v.1.1.1.0, Taste v.2.1.1.0, QF v.2.1.1.0
Scenario 1 – “Hide custom excerpts on post pages” DISABLED / Excerpt length: 18 

Front page listing: 
- Post without Read-more made by WYSIWYG: Text will show up to word 18… <– expected result
- Post without Read-more made by BLOCK: Text will show up to word 17… <– one word less
- Post with Read-more inserted after word25, made by WYSIWYG: Text will show up to word25 <– expected result
- Post with Read-more inserted to next block after word 25, made by BLOCK: Text will show up to word25 <– expected result
Actual post page:
- Post without Read-more made by WYSIWYG: All text in post will be displayed <– expected result
- Post without Read-more made by BLOCK: All text in post will be displayed <– expected result
- Post with Read-more inserted after word25, made by WYSIWYG: All text will be displayed. No <hr> separator at the location where the “Read-more” was inserted. <– expected result
- Post with Read-more inserted to next block after word 25, made by BLOCK: All text will be displayed. There will be a <hr> separator at the location where the “Read-more” was inserted. <– may not be desired but can be hidden using CSS
Scenario 2 – “Hide custom excerpts on post pages” ENABLED / Excerpt length: 18 

Front page listing: 
- Post without Read-more made by WYSIWYG: Text will show up to word 18… <– expected result
- Post without Read-more made by BLOCK: Text will show up to word 17… <– one word less
- Post with Read-more inserted after word25, made by WYSIWYG: Text will show up to word25 <– expected result
- Post with Read-more inserted to next block after word 25, made by BLOCK: Text will show up to word25 <– expected result
Actual post page:
- Post without Read-more made by WYSIWYG: All text in post will be displayed <– expected result
- Post without Read-more made by BLOCK: All text in post will be displayed <– expected result
- Post with Read-more inserted after word25, made by WYSIWYG: Text before the “Read-more” will be omitted. The rest of the post will be displayed. No <hr> separator at the location where the “Read-more” was inserted. <– expected result
- Post with Read-more inserted to next block after word 25, made by BLOCK: All text will be displayed. There will be a <hr> separator at the location where the “Read-more” was inserted. <– same result as Scenario 1 but in this case, all text before the “Read-more” should have been omitted and there should not be a <hr> separator.

Not sure why the formatting got converted.

Anyway, annotated screenshots are attached to illustrate what I wrote about.

Would like to have done so earlier, but there were no option/button to “Select File” to attach the photos.

Hi,

Thank you for your in-depth analysis 🙂 I have created a Github issue for this case: https://github.com/GetPublii/Publii/issues/966
