RichText no longer works with the onFocus event

[lukecarbis]

Description

In WordPress 5.7.2 (without the plugin), a RichText component can be passed the onFocus event, and it works as expected. Activating Gutenberg 10.7.1 breaks the onFocus functionality.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Create a RichText component in a separate plugin or theme
2. Give it an onFocus event, which logs something to the console
3. Test it without the Gutenberg plugin installed (notice the text in the console)
4. Test it with the Gutenberg plugin installed (the text no longer appears in the console)

Alternatively, here's a sandbox:
https://codesandbox.io/s/wp-richtext-onfocus-test-6r1eh?file=/src/App.js

1. Open this sandbox
2. Set the @wordpress/block-editor requirement to 6.1.1 or 6.1.0
3. Notice that onFocus doesn't fire, and onBlur does
4. Change the @wordpress/block-editor requirement to 6.0.0
5. Notice that onFocus fires, and onBlur doesn't

Expected behaviour

RichText fields should trigger a given onFocus event when they receive focus.

Actual behaviour

RichText fields no longer trigger onFocus events (though they once did).

@ellatrix I hope you don't mind if I ping you on this – I believe you've been actively working on RichText.

Hi @lukecarbis

As there hasn’t been any movement on this issue since it was opened, I’ve marked it as stale. Let me know if you think it should be kept open. Thanks!

@lukecarbis just checking in. Would you be able to test with the latest version of the @wordpress/block-editor to see if this is still an issue? Thanks for your help!

[lukecarbis]

@ndiego Yes – I'll do so today.

@ndiego After updating the code in the original sandbox to work with React 18, and using the latest version of all included scripts, this problem is still not fixed.

Sandbox using @wordpress/block-editor version 11.2.0

Let me know if there's anything further that you need.

Awesome, thanks for confirming @lukecarbis!

Does #47685 fix this?

[lukecarbis]

@ellatrix Yes, it does!
