    Without additional details there are no ideas, Vitalii. It doesn't make any sense especially if you say there are no issues in the console.
    May you share please version of Drupal, type of browser you use?

    I've encountered the same issue: the page hangs completely — not even allowing access to the browser console for debugging.

    After some testing, I discovered the root cause is related to the Font Awesome module configuration, specifically when using the "SVG with JS" method under /admin/config/content/fontawesome.

    When "SVG with JS" is enabled, CKEditor 5 becomes unresponsive or crashes.
    Disabling this method (e.g. switching to "Webfont with CSS") immediately resolves the issue.

    I haven't had time to fully debug the JS conflict, but this definitely seems like a compatibility problem between Font Awesome's JS rendering and CKEditor 5.

    Hope this helps someone encountering the same issue!
