Describe the bug Typing an email address with more than two domain levels leaves the editor in a broken state (e.g. test@telstra.com.au) due to auto-link plugin.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to https://mdxeditor.dev/editor/demo
2. Insert a cursor on a new line.
3. Start typing an email address with more than three domain segments (e.g. test@telstra.com.au)
4. When the .com part is typed the email is "auto-linked".
5. After continuing to type .au the backspace key no longer works (it selects the text instead of removing).
6. Console shows errors (on a local build, the errors are similar to this):

   Error: Expected node 13 to have a parent.
   at _TextNode.getParentOrThrow (Lexical.dev.mjs:3460:15)
   at $shouldInsertTextAfterOrBeforeTextNode (Lexical.dev.mjs:1032:23)
   at $shouldPreventDefaultAndInsertText (Lexical.dev.mjs:2398:3)
   at Lexical.dev.mjs:2689:34
   at $beginUpdate (Lexical.dev.mjs:8093:5)
   at updateEditor (Lexical.dev.mjs:8169:5)
   at onBeforeInput (Lexical.dev.mjs:2607:3)
   at Lexical.dev.mjs:2344:61
   at HTMLDivElement.<anonymous> (Lexical.dev.mjs:3163:9)

Expected behavior After typing .au the full email address should have been converted into a link, and the editor state should remain editable.

This is entirely a Lexical behavior, have you searched for a similar problem on their side?

The same test works correctly on the lexical playground site: https://playground.lexical.dev/

Searching for issues in their repo found this - https://github.com/facebook/lexical/issues/6430.

Since this will be fixed once Lexical releases a new version, I will close this issue.

facebook/lexical has now released v0.17.0. Is there a rough timeframe for when this update will be included in mdx-editor?
