    </main>
```

Expected results:

The caret should display, blinking.

It is because a new line character is selected by double/triple click(you say click consecutively). So now the caret disappears.
The selection is also invisible, because width of the new line character is zero.

so, I think this is expected results.

A br tag gets inserted by default when you press enter, so surely a disappearing cursor here can be considered a bug?

This can also be reproduced with the default editor on https://draftjs.org/, or on https://www.slatejs.org/#/plain-text
