I'm not sure we have the expectation that users can switch to the block editor at any time. I see a specific set of scenarios in EditPostActivity where we expect that menu item to be shown. I also noticed that if I add some block content before switching to the classic editor, I can switch back to the block editor.

@hypest could you help determine if the current behavior is expected here, or if it's indeed a bug?

Thanks for the ping @rachelmcr .

Indeed, switching between the editors in a symmetric way in all cases is not supported, not a bug. Reason is, the block editor doesn't yet have good support for non-blocks content, leading to poor UX in the block editor. So, we limit the switch to "block editor" unless there are blocks already in the post.

So, I will remove the "Bug" label and add the "Enhancement" one. Let me know if there are still reasons to treat this as a bug and we can discuss. Thanks!
