Saw a few other scenarios where the drawings becomes uneditable, Numbered points, and inside a Table. Is this expected?

Thanks for raising @chasgames.
No, just not something that's been tested to this degree, Will have a think about where images should be supported.
By the way, All drawings are actually saved as PNG images with drawing data embedded, Just looks like these are no structured or detected properly as drawings when in other elements.
@chasgames commented on GitHub (Feb 28, 2019):
Great thanks Dan, good to know the drawing data is still embedded :)

👍 As a backup, If you have any existing drawings you need to save you should be able to right-click them > download to your pc. Then in draw.io go to File > Open from > Device, then select your drawing file.

Just ran into the same problem, and thought I should report ... but it already has been. Luckily I still had the drawing in the clipboard.

I'm gonna go ahead and close this off since after testing on current versions of BookStack I have not been able to reproduce in the default WYSIWYG or the new WYSIWYG (there are some difference between those into drawing handling relative to lists, but that's a separate thing), so it's quite possible things have changed in the last 6 years.
