VideoPress block: drag and drop mixed media not inserting all files on Dotcom sites when video is included

[tanjoymor]

Quick summary

The feature released with GB 19.3 of: Drag and Drop: When dragging a mix of video, audio, and image blocks, create individual blocks as appropriate — WordPress/gutenberg#65144 – isn't working as expected on Simple or Atomic Dotcom sites, when a video file is part of the grouping.

Steps to reproduce

1. Any Simple or Atomic Dotcom site that has GB 19.5.1 (haven't tested earlier versions)
2. Drag and drop 2 or more mixed media files into the editor with at least one file being a video
3. Only video files are getting added

What you expected to happen

I expected all of the files to be added via their respective blocks.

What actually happened

Only the video files are added.

Atomic Site:

It's exactly the same on Simple sites.

Impact

Most (> 50%)

Available workarounds?

Yes, easy to implement

If the above answer is "Yes...", outline the workaround.

Add video files separate from other media types. Which defeats the purpose of the feature as released: WordPress/gutenberg#65144

Platform (Simple and/or Atomic)

I can replicate this on a simple site. In particular, if I include a video, VideoPress takes precedence. As a result, adding Jetpack tag to this as I wonder if VideoPress is interfering.

📌 REPRODUCTION RESULTS

• Tested on Simple – Replicated
• Tested on Atomic – Replicated
• Replicable outside of Dotcom – Yes

📌 FINDINGS/SCREENSHOTS/VIDEO

• What forces the Videopress block is not the Videopress module itself but the Jetpack blocks. Even I turn off Videopress, the VideoPress block still shows up instead of the video block. The behavior is consistent on self-hosted too.

📌 ACTIONS

• Triaged

@jeherve, This looks more like a dependency within Jetpack. However, I can't find an exact report for this in the Jetpack repo. Is it safe to move there?
