Auto-Scroll Bug in Gutenberg (WP 6.7+) When Creating a New Paragraph

If you have an ACF block with mode => edit and it contains a WYSIWYG Editor field in visual mode, positioned below a newly created paragraph, WordPress incorrectly detects the iframe in WYSIWYG Editor as the new paragraph and scrolls down to it.

🚨 However, if the ACF block is above the new paragraph, the issue does not occur.

### ✅ Quick fix:
Change all blocks from 'mode' => 'edit' to 'auto':

acf_register_block_type([
    'mode' => 'auto',
]);

📌 This will fix the issue, preventing WordPress from scrolling to the WYSIWYG Editor.

As it turned out, the fix for the problem is quite simple

add_action('acf/input/admin_footer', function () {
  ?>
    <script>
      jQuery(document).off('tinymce-editor-init.keep-scroll-position');
    </script>
  <?php
});
