Web-stories-wp: Aligning element while editing text crashes the editor

[o-fernandez]

Bug Description

Clicking on an element alignment trigger while in text edit mode crashes the editor.

Expected Behaviour

Element should be properly aligned within the page. Editor should not crash.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add a text element to the page
2. Double click to enter text editing mode, maybe select a word/subset of the text, not sure if it matters.
3. Click on the element align options (e.g., alight right)

@o-fernandez What is the expected behavior here? The text should be in edit mode when it aligns? Or exit edit mode?

[o-fernandez]

P0 for me is that it aligns the element and the editor doesn't crash. I'm totally fine if it exits edit mode as the user is triggering a function that's unrelated to text editing.

@samitron7 for your comments in case you have any specific UX concern here. Note that I was in text edit mode and triggered an element align change, not text alignment change.
