Steps to reproduce

Create a new page or post
Add an embed block that was added as a reusable block (in this specific case a PDF file from the Media LIbrary was added)
Publish the page or hit the Preview button

What I expected

I would expect the PDF file to be embedded and show the file just like when I use the Embed block that is not a reusable block like this:

What happened instead

The block shows only the link to the file. You can compare both on the Screenshot below. The block above it is a regular embed block and the PDF file shows as it should. Below that there's the exact same block only it was used as a reusable block and only a link shows:

Context / Source

This issue was brought by a user on HC - 21004768

They are using a retired theme (Heart&Style) so at first I thought that was the issue but I tried on my test blog using several different themes including the new ones like 2020, Barnsbury, etc and the issue is replicated on every theme I tried.

Same issue reported on https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/14608

In the case of YouTube, using the shortcode worked, but must be in a Paragraph block, the Shortcode block won't work:

Another report here: 27701717-hc

Youtube embed inside reusable block displays as a blank space with the youtube link below:

Changing the reusable block to regular blocks resolves as does placing the embed outside the reusable block content. I also shared the shortcode as a workaround.
