Delete child breaks indentation for downstream child #3018

Description

@virgile-dev

What’s broken?

Behaviour on BlockNote, when I hit backspace to delete a child in a bullet list. Same happens for other types of blocks (checklist, numbered list)

Behaviour on Notion

What did you expect to happen?

I'd expect a similar behaviour as Notion.
Sometimes when I'm a meeting a editing a large bullet list, it can unindent dozens of elements
