Edit page instructions do not hide in Edge after adding first block

Description

The instructional message on the editor does not disappear in MS Edge after adding a block to the story. This is likely a lack of support for or problem with the specific CSS and JS used to hide the instructions and show the editing area with the new block.

To reproduce: Add a new block

Expected: The instructions disappear and the new block is visible

Actual: The new block in the editing area is shown, but the instructions are not hidden and show up beneath the editing area

Environment

Windows 10 v1903 Edge 44

We are planning not to support pre-Chromium Edge in the future (affects versions 44.* and earlier), so this may not be resolved for affected versions.

The hiding and showing of these elements is achieved entirely in CSS using selectors that are supported as far back as IE9, or IE7 in the case of the + (adjacent sibling) selector.

Inspecting the instructions element in the Edge DevTools window after adding a new block makes that element hidden, which is quite odd, although the result is what is normally expected. If the newly-added block is then removed, both the instructions and the editing area are hidden. Re-inspecting the instruction element at this point will then make it show once more. This leads me to believe it may be a bug within Edge, or some special circumstances that must be met before repainting occurs.
