Please give us a description of what happened.

When trying to fill in the meta description, the cursor keeps jumping to the content area again and again

Please describe what you expected to happen and why.

The cursor should remain where it is at, since this is not a good user experience if the cursor keeps jumping to the editor every few characters being typed in the meta description

How can we reproduce this behavior?

1. Edit a post, or create a new post using the Gutenberg editor and fill in the contents for the post
2. Check the Yoast SEO readability analysis, and use any of the highlighter option that is available
3. Click anywhere within the Gutenberg editor on a paragraph
4. Head over the edit the meta description and start typing in some words. And during this you should see that your cursor is moved from the meta description to the Gutenberg editor.

Hmm, I knew I seen this before. This is a known issue on our internal bugtracker. Since I could not find a public facing issue, this will do.
