Cannot create snippets containing multiple HTML

[rainbowour]

Issue Summary

• Explain roughly what’s wrong
• What did you expect to happen?

I am trying to create a multiple node snippet including text, html, etc.

I tried:

• To select manually with clic & drag all the items and it does not show the toolbar to create the snippet.
  Moreover, I cannot know if nodes are selected (except text) because there is no “active”/selected visual state
• To create a new post containing only the snippet content, hit CTRL+A and creates the snippet.
  But either I am on a text node and it triggers the blockquote feature (which should be triggered using CTRL+Q, French keyboard issue??) or I am on a HTML node and it does nothing…
• Even tried to create snippet directly in Database using MySQl query but that is a work around that is not viable at all…

I succeeded (by chance?) in a previous version of Ghost but now it does not work anymore.

Steps to Reproduce

Follow these steps firstly in a non empty post and then in an empty post.

1. Create 1 HTLM node

<div class="row jusitfy-content-center">
  <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-5">

2. Create text node “Column 1 content”
3. Create 1 HTML node

       </div>
       <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-7">

4. Create text node “Column 2 content”
5. Create HTML Node

    </div>
</div>

6. Try to clic, drag and select all the nodes you have just created → Does it work? Do you have the snippet toolbar displayed?
7. Repeat the node creation in an empty post
8. Hit CTRL+A to select all nodes → Doest it work? Do you have the snippet toolbar displayed?

Both tries lead to negative answers on my browser/ghost installation…
