Describe the Bug

When clicking a sub-menu item on the toolbar (ie: Insert Horizontal Line), the focus immediately returns focus to the page to keep typing, but the sub-menu is still shown. Clicking on the editor page to remove the sub-menu and keep typing results in the toolbar stealing focus away from the editor.

Steps to Reproduce

Add some text
Click second "..." in toolbar
Click "Insert Horizontal Line"
Type some more (works)
Click next to typed text
Type some more (fails as toolbar as focus)
Click again next to typed text
Type some more (works again)

Expected Behaviour

Once the "Insert Horizontal Line" button has been clicked the sub-menu should disappear and focus returned to the main editor

Thanks for the report @My-Random-Thoughts.
Been looking into this, not something I can quickly patch as far as I can tell.

Is an issue in TinyMCE, so would ideally fix upstream.
