@MaxwellGarceau its hard to tell with the GIF attached, but I assume the "shortcode test" text transforms into a paragraph block while the Mailchimp shortcode transforms into the Mailchimp block?

[MaxwellGarceau]

That's correct @jeffpaul. I've attached a better screen capture and I'm updating the PR with the screen capture that shows the paragraph text to paragraph block transformation more clearly.

@dkotter

I tried using the Mailchimp block to the Classic Editor, but after enabling the Classic Editor plugin and checking the post, the form shortcode does not appear in the editor. However, the form does appear on the front end.
