WordPress post editor crashes with Polyfill typo

Here is an answer: WordPress v5.0.3 Gutenberg & JS error “Uncaught SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list”

The simplest way: Find & delete PHP Hook which added ‘defer’ to script (in the function.php file). Or if you have skills you can edit the code of the hook. Reason: Confusion/conflict with quotes (‘ & “) witch break down JS.

About ‘defer’ you can read here: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_script_defer.asp This is probably due to speed optimization on your website.
