Wp-calypso: Gutenberg: Press This does not include title or link

[kriskarkoski]

Steps to reproduce

1. Starting at URL: https://wordpress.com/settings/writing/example.wordpress.com (where example.wordpress.com is any Gutenberg-enabled simple site)
2. Save the Press This bookmarklet
3. Use the bookmarklet on another URL
4. Note the title and via URL/link are not passed to Gutenberg

What I expected

For the title in Gutenberg to use the title of the page I use Press This on and the link to be included in the post content

What happened instead

Gutenberg is opened but the title and via link in post content are not included

Browser / OS version

OS X 10, Chrome 70.0.3538.77

Also replicated on my test site with a Personal Plan.
What I noticed: no title or text appear.

Example on a free site without Gutenberg:

Could y'all verify that this works on a vanilla Gutenberg install? If we see the same issue in core, it sounds like the plugin should be updated. See p9dueE-rW-p2 for how to get a quick Jurassic site up

It works on a vanilla gutenberg installation: http://cld.wthms.co/k0pcaY (only installed gutenberg and press this on a jurassic ninja site)

Have created a brand new free site on WordPress.com to test again - and still not working.

Customer in #1654635-zen is having trouble with this in Safari. They reverted to Classic Editor and now Press This would not work in Classic, either. I was not able to replicate with a test site.

I think this is related to #28973

Do folks have links to where folks and saving the bookmarklet?

Was able to reproduce the issue on my test site using Chrome Version 72.0.3626.81 (Official Build) (64-bit) and macOS Mojave Version 10.14.2 (18C54)

@gwwar we're picking it up from
https://wordpress.com/settings/writing/justvelda.wordpress.com

Noting my browser isn't allowing me to add the bookmarklet, but I can still highlight text on that page and click "press this" -- if I'm using Classic, it starts the new post with the title and highlighted text as expected. If I'm using Gutenberg it just gives me a new blank post.

Thanks @supernovia, I added a screenshot!
