BUG: Component content is set to empty string after inline editing

Question

GrapesJS version

  • I confirm to use the latest version of GrapesJS

What browser are you using?

Firefox v91.4.1

Reproducible demo link

https://grapesjs.com/demo.html

Describe the bug

How to reproduce the bug?

  1. Go to the grapesjs basic demo: https://grapesjs.com/demo.html
  2. Clear the canvas
  3. Add a component Link
  4. Execute editor.getComponents().models[0].attributes.content in the browser console. The output is "Link", which is the content of the link component
  5. Change the link text by editing it inline
  6. Execute editor.getComponents().models[0].attributes.content again in the browser console. The output is now "".

What is the expected behavior? When a component is edited inline, the content attribute of the component should be updated accordingly.

What is the current behavior? When a component is edited inline, content is always set to empty string

If is necessary to execute some code in order to reproduce the bug, paste it here below:

editor.getComponents().models[0].attributes.content

Do this after editing the component inline.

This is expected due to some logic related to the rich text editor. You can use component.getInnerHTML() to get the inner HTML or component.components() to get inner components.
