Draft-js: Calling blur() on the editor doesn't remove the cursor

What is the current behavior?
Calling blur() on the editor doesn't remove the cursor (in Chrome).

When calling blur(), the DraftEditor component will run:
ReactDOM.findDOMNode(this.refs.editor).blur();
When logging document.activeElement right after it, I can see that the editor has been blurred successfully (body is active).

However, the editOnBlur method doesn't run (which I guess it should?).

The solution I went with is simple: I just do the same as editOnBlur after calling blur(), i.e:
window.getSelection().removeAllRanges(). But I guess the real solution is to figure out why editOnBlur (which is attached to the editor's onBlur event) doesn't run and fix that.

You shouldn't call findDOMNode. Use blur method of Editor component instead.
Just:

if (this.refs.editor) {
  this.refs.editor.blur();
}

I was probably a bit unclear. To clarify: I am calling the editor component like that. What I was referring to above was how Draft itself handles that call: https://github.com/facebook/draft-js/blob/master/src/component/base/DraftEditor.react.js#L362

When I have time I'll try to recreate this in a fiddle.

I have this problem too. Any updates on this, anyone? anyone?

more specifically, I encountered this problem when an alert is dismissed, is autofocus to the first text input unexpectedly, though i use blur(), the cursor is still there.

document.activeElement.blur()
