Describe the bug
I've added Gutenberg to a new site to test it out. I've added a few images and a paragraph block. The paragraph block is now sitting at the very bottom of the browser window. I can't scroll down any further in the browser, and the block inserter doesn't display after the block so it's stopping me from adding any further blocks to my page. If I hit tab whilst in the last Paragraph block, the cursor simply goes to the sidebar.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

  1. Create new page
  2. Add blocks to page until it hits the bottom of the browser window

Expected behaviour
The blocks shouldn't sit so close to the bottom of the browser window that It prevents me from adding more blocks

I was just testing this, and it looks like this may just be a duplicate of #7006. It only happens when the last block on your page is a paragraph block.

For all other blocks, I see the trailing/appending inserter at the bottom:

This part also reminds me a bit of #5580.

@kjellr I don't think I was aware that Gutenberg removed the Block Inserter on purpose from below Paragraph blocks, when I created this, so yeah, it could be called a duplicate of #7006.

Problem is though is that #7006 has now been closed, and removing the Block Inserter from below Paragraph blocks is a ridiculous decision that makes the interface inconsistent.

Ok, thanks @maddisondesigns — I'm going to close this one as a duplicate in that case.

There are still some fairly recent comments in #7006 (as well as #7271) around the decision to remove the inserter from below paragraph blocks, so we can continue do discuss that issue there.
