Preview does not work when you have a lot of contents

[rohan2388]

So the issue is if I add a lot of contents (multiple textarea with multiple paragraphs) in a block, the preview stops working. I get the following error in console:
GET http://attacq.local/wp-json/wp/v2/block-renderer/block-la... 414 (Request-URI Too Long)

So is there a way to fix this?

Hi @rohan2388,
Thanks for bringing this up.

It looks to be the same issue as #436 (comment), though it would have been hard to know that by searching.

Unfortunately, there isn't an easy way to fix this. The GET request limit is set by the server, I think.

As mentioned in WordPress/gutenberg#16396 (comment), changing this to use a POST request would require a patch to WP Core and a PR to Gutenberg. I don't think it'll happen soon.

Hi @rohan2388,
Sorry it's been so long. But would you be able to test this fix for the issue?
