Footnotes disappear when Custom Fields panel is open due to meta handling issues.
The issue involves footnotes not being saved when the Custom Fields panel is open, likely due to meta handling conflicts. Requires understanding WordPress meta storage and the Footnotes block implementation. Blockers include potential cross-cutting changes to meta handling.
The footnotes block doesn't save new footnotes if the Custom Fields panel is open. This happens only if footnotes already exist and we want to add more of them after the post has been saved at least once.
Ticket on trac. The issue was reproduced during Test triage.
