I see the same sort of error when deleting posts and pages created by importing a JSON file as well and with posts uploaded via the API (perhaps the import uses the API?). For completeness, I write in Markdown on Obsidian and then upload using the API.

This behaviour is seen with a local copy of Ghost installed on Mac OS X, and on trial sites on DigitalPress and on MagicPages.

The UI locks up (via web browser on a computer), and the only way to get out of it is to reload the admin page. It then prompts whether I want to leave the site as unsaved changes will be lost.

Posts and pages created ‘interactively’ via the editor can be deleted without any issues, and control of the UI is not lost.

Same error here. I have many posts uploaded by the API.
