@jamestowers I am using an older version to prevent the null selection issue and maintain a similar behaviour in all browsers for my use case.
@jamestowers I am also using React.focusEditor to get around the backward typings bug in Safari. But I have to use an older version of slate-react v0.65.0 to get similar behaviour in all browsers.
