Additional context
Local site made with Desktop Server. Running PHP version 7.3.
WordPress 6.0.2
A few different plugins.
I see no console error.
Brave browser
I switched themes and deactivated various plugins but the result was the same.
I also tested this on a live dev site and noticed the same error.
Send me an email at [email redacted] or [email redacted] and I will send you login info to the dev site so you can see for yourself.
I also tested with Firefox.

Hi Paal,
Thank you for the video, it helped me understand the issue.
There's no bug here 😅, each of the meta boxes has its very own tab management system. The content displayed underneath each tab stops at the end of the meta box. So "General > Layout" has 5 checkboxes, "General > Canonical" has 1 dropdown and 3 checkboxes, and then when we move down a meta box, "Title > General" has 2 options.
You can also drag the meta boxes up and down just like you would on the Classic Editor (pre-Gutenberg). In the image below, I'm dragging the closed General meta box:
At the top right, you have "Screen Options," via which you can disable meta boxes.
You're not the first to be confused or overwhelmed by our current interface, and I'm planning to overhaul it in a future major update. See #505.
Thanks @sybrew
I will follow along.
Btw
Do you have a few folks that beta test? If so I would like to join the list.
Closing this issue....
Hi Paal,
I appreciate your interest! When we have a public beta run, I will announce it -- probably via our Twitter account: https://twitter.com/TheSEOFramework.
In the past, it led to no responses or bug reports, but 5.0 will be a significant change incurring feedback necessary.
I just sent you a Slack message, as I am not much of a Twitter fan.
As it would be nice to when the time comes to help test the beta.
