Cmb2: In Gutenberg Editor, the cursor jumps to the start of the block every time when auto saving

[manzoorwanijk]

Expected Behavior:

When a post is autosaved, the cursor should not dislocate

Actual Behavior:

The cursor jumps to the start of the block every time when auto saving

Steps to reproduce :

1. Activate CMB2 and use Gutenberg editor to create a post.
2. Start wring into a block and wait to it to be auto saved.
3. Watch the cursor as it jumps to the start of the block.

What is causing this?

Possibly #1190 introduced this issue. It took me a few hours to debug the issue and finally caught it red handed on cmb2.js#L130 😄. When you comment out that line, there is no such issue.
PS: keep SCRIPT_DEBUG enabled

Debug Info

WP 5.0.2
CMB2 2.5.1

Just tested with the updated version 2.6.0 and can confirm there is no longer an issue with auto-saving, great work.
