When I click on the designated editable area, the flashing caret that you usually get when a textarea gets focus is not visible in the editable area. Only when I start typing a letter the caret appears. So the problem is that when the user clicks the designated text area with his mouse, it looks like the text area loses focus because there is not visual cue showing the user that he can start typing text.

Hi, it's just a guess, but is your textarea inside a html label? And if so, did you try to move it out of the label container?
Thank you!!! that saved me a lot of time!
I can also confirm this was an issue we were having and it was due to the textarea being wrapped in a label.
So you should use:
<label for="my-textarea">...</label><textarea id="my-textarea" class="editor"></textarea>
