Bug Description

Insert a referenced board/grid as the first item in a document. I want to add text above it, but the selection doesn't allow me to move above it to add text.

How to Reproduce

Insert a grid as the first item in a document. Use the up arrow to navigate cursor above it, the cursor disappears and I can't shift the reference down in the document.

Expected Behavior

Cursor should appear large to the left of the referenced board so that I can create an indent by pressing enter.

Operating System

Windows

AppFlowy Version(s)

0.16

Screenshots

No response

Additional Context

Similar to Notion, we can add the Alt+Click option to Add a block above.
