Bug Description

The divider shortcut (---) does not work when trying to insert a divider on a line that already contains some text. This bug only occurs on lines with existing text but works fine when the divider shortcut is used on an empty line.

How to Reproduce

Open AppFlowy
Create a new document
Type some text on the line
Try to insert a divider using the shortcut (---) on the line with the existing text
Observe that the divider is not inserted.

Expected Behavior

The divider shortcut (---) should work when trying to insert a divider on a line with existing text, just as it does when used on an empty line.
