I've just noticed that on ALL my various Drupal 8 websites, the "contextual links" for access to content editing from the UI no longer appear anywhere. This is true for all my various Drupal 8 test websites.

I can provide a link to a test website for reproduction of this problem if necessary.

I have checked for the problem of missing "contextual links" for editing nodes, blocks, views, etc., using firefox, chrome, and edge.

I have checked for the existence of this problem on multiple Drupal 8 installations on my work dev server running 8.3.2 and the latest 8.3.3.

I have checked for this problem using a bare bones (default theme ) base Drupal test installation.

I have checked for this problem in my test installation of commercial Drupal 8 theme distributions from www.morethanthemes.com.

I am an experienced Drupal developer, with over a decade of experience.

On all the D8 sites, the "contextual links" module shows as enabled in the extend page.

On all the D8 sites admins have the "use contextual links" permission enabled.

I also just performed a clean install of Drupal 8.3.3 into a sub-domain on my dev server, and the problem appears there.

Version: 8.3.2 » 8.3.x-dev

Core issues are now filed against the dev versions where changes will be made. Document the specific release you are using in your issue comment. More information about choosing a version.

Version: 8.3.x-dev » 8.9.x-dev

Drupal 8.8.7 was released on June 3, 2020 and is the final full bugfix release for the Drupal 8.8.x series. Branches prior to 8.8.x are not supported, and Drupal 8.8.x will not receive any further development aside from security fixes. Sites should prepare to update to Drupal 8.9.0 or Drupal 9.0.0 for ongoing support.

Bug reports should be targeted against the 8.9.x-dev branch from now on, and new development or disruptive changes should be targeted against the 9.1.x-dev branch. For more information see the Drupal 8 and 9 minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal 8 and 9 release cycles.

I spun up a Drupal 8.9 with DrupalPod https://github.com/shaal/DrupalPod and was able to use Quick Edit with the base theme.

Does your theme have {{ attributes }} added to the wrapper around your twig templates?

Bartik is using this on the node templates. 

{{ attach_library('bartik/classy.node') }}
<article{{ attributes.addClass(classes) }}>

I do notice however that there is some buggy behaviour. Check your console to see if there are any Quick Edit errors to see which element is breaking things.

Version: 8.9.x-dev » 9.2.x-dev

Drupal 8 is end-of-life as of November 17, 2021. There will not be further changes made to Drupal 8. Bugfixes are now made to the 9.3.x and higher branches only. For more information see the Drupal core minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal core release cycle.

Version: 9.2.x-dev » 9.3.x-dev

Due to Quickedit being moved out of Drupal Core and into a Contrib Module, moving this issue to the Contrib Module queue.
