marcusB-32	Background of the issue: I am trying to edit a text field using the advanced editor in WPML. However, after 5 seconds the cursor jumps to the beginning of the entry field, making the advanced editor unusable. This issue was reported months ago and is also discussed here: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/trying-to-do-a-translation-of-a-blog-post-and-the-cursor-keeps-returning-to-the-beginning-of-the-tex/. See my screen recording here: hidden link. Symptoms: The cursor jumps to the beginning of the text field after 5 seconds of idle time, resulting in a frustrating user experience. Questions: Why does the cursor jump to the beginning of the text field in the advanced editor? How can I fix the cursor jumping issue in the advanced editor?
