Paragraph blocks don't have focus when added

[kevin940726]

Description

Not sure since when, adding a paragraph block no longer moves the focus to the input itself, but rather a "parent"-ish block wrapper. Pressing Enter can no longer continue the writing experience either. See the below screencast for more info.

I haven't bisected the exact commit that causes this issue, but this feels unintentional and seems like a regression to me. It might be related to some focus-related work being done recently like #28191 and #28962. Pinging @youknowriad here for more insights 😉 .

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Go to the post editor by adding a new post
2. Add the first paragraph
3. Hit Enter to start a new paragraph
4. Type something and observe that the focus is not within the input hence no characters are being typed to the screen.

Expected behaviour

Should be able to add/edit content more smoothly.

Actual behaviour

The writing flow is blocked by unfocused inputs.

I'm pretty sure we have e2e tests for this that would have caught it. Could you have another thing that could impact this.

Nothing that I'm aware of, no 🤔.

I'm not seeing this either. One time, when I was seeing what I thought was a regression, it resolved when I restarted npm run dev (which clears the build directories).

Seems like this has already been fixed by #29279, closing it now.
