Apparently, this issue has already been fixed some time ago (#3209) but seems to have re-emerged (even though now, it only shows whitespace instead of the hint "add notes...").
- Nextcloud 26.0.3
- NC Text 3.7.2
- Tested with latest versions of Firefox and Chrome.

A quick glance in the dom revealed that the whitespace container is indeed the rich text workspace. Disabling the text extension also removes the whitespace.
