Cover image provides no indicator where to click for adding text

[maddisondesigns]

Describe the bug
After adding a Cover Image block it displays a tiny toolbar on top of the image, however there's no indicator or even a flashing cursor, to show where you're actually supposed to click to insert text, or even that you can actually insert text.

This is just one of the many blocks that are incredibly frustrating to use because of the poor UI and lack of visual indicators!

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Add a cover image
2. Try and work out where you have to click to add text

Expected behaviour
I shouldn't have top spend 5 minutes clicking around on the image to try and find the insertion point so that I can add some text

This issue will likely be resolved by a combination of the Cover Image and Quote blocks being updated to use nested blocks (#5452 and #6520) and block hover UI improvements (#6773).

Cool. Let's keep this issue open until we can confirm the problem is addressed.

Circling back on this, the current cover image block behaviour is that it now shows a placeholder indicating there's a clickable part:

The toolbar only appears when clicked:

I think this resolves the original issue?

@johngodley That's working better now that there's placeholder text.

Great, thanks. Closing as resolved.
