Another case on multiple sites here:

I was temporarily able to add tags (in Chrome) after we removed several empty tags, but it stopped working again

There's an issue reported in the Gutenberg repo for this too - WordPress/gutenberg#67058.

And some reports in the WordPress.org forums - https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-shaking-while-in-edit-mode/#post-18139467.

Shared workaround with Classic view.

[Robertght]

I can see there's a fix for it here: WordPress/gutenberg#66625

@ramonjd correct me if that's not the same, however, do we need to wait until Gutenberg 19.7 to be released? If yes, when should we see this released because I can see a lot of reports piling up.

We just got the fix for this issue at the Gutenberg 19.6.4 and started the Dotcom release process for fixing it on our sites.

@Robertght

Thanks for the ping. As @sixhours mentioned, the fix is being included in a point release, which is being rolled out today.
