does not, unfortunately

as soon as i move the cursor off the left block, the "edit gallery" button on the right hand side disappears

To rule out your browser, try the troubleshooting steps 1) 2) 5) here https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004581087-Troubleshooting-browser-issues 

If not, then I suggest contacting SquareSpace support, as this is an issue with functionality. These forums are not monitored by SquareSpace.

You can contact them here, https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

I find their live chat support very useful and responsive!

Is there an error in your CSS? Look at the bottom, is there a red line that says something like "error on line xxx"

 

Please post code here.

The issue is with the following code.

@media only screen and (min-width: 641px) {
  #collection-61e162c50352595445aa7488 #page .page-section:nth-of-type(4) {
    width:46%;
    min-height: 81vh;
    align-items: center;
    float: left
  }

  #collection-61e162c50352595445aa7488 #page .page-section:nth-of-type(5) {
    width: 35%;
    min-height: 80vh;
    align-items: center
  }

  #collection-61e162c50352595445aa7488 #page .page-section:nth-of-type(6) {
    clear: both
  }
}

It doesn't take into account what moving these elements about will do in Preview/editor.

You need to disable the effect when editing so as not to interfere with the editor.

/* split section effect, uses LESS syntax */

@media only screen and ( min-width : 641px ) {

  html:not( .squarespace-damask ) #collection-61e162c50352595445aa7488 #page .page-section {
  
    &:nth-of-type( 4 ) {
    
      align-items : center;
      float : left;
      min-height : 81vh;
      width : 46%;
      
      }
      
    &:nth-of-type( 5 ) {
    
      align-items : center;
      min-height : 80vh;
      width : 35%;
      
      }
      
    &:nth-of-type( 6 ) {
    
      clear : both;
      
      }
      
    }
    
  }

This is for v7.1.

Note the use of html:not( .squarespace-damask ) to disable the effect while in the editor. To test it use private browsing.

Let us know how it goes.

The code is in site.css. Custom CSS should be at the end of the site.css file.

Here is a video where I show some of my diagnostic technique.

I start by looking at the elements involved. I worked my way up the hierarchy and determined we were looking at a split section effect and that it is interfering with the editor.

I then use the inspector to trace the code to its source.

I then go to the beginning of the custom CSS by going to the end of site.css then search backwards for less.
