Not editable text inputs in content (starting from 6.8.*)

[pylnata]

We have text inputs in content of editor, and they stopped to be editable after upgrade to 6.8/7 (last version where we don't have issue is 6.7.3). I created example with reproducable issue here:

Hi @pylnata. TinyMCE has never supported editable form elements in the content so them functioning has been a happy accident. So this is more a feature request even if I understand from your perspective it feels like a bug. We don't have any immediate plans to add support for this but always happy to hear the "pitch" to why this is needed in TinyMCE.

Hi @lostkeys thanks for reply. Well, may be we use tinyMCE is not usual way. We inject in editor's content interactive react components, that have inputs and textareas, etc. And despite of I can use divs with editable=true instead inputs, I can't apply such approach everywhere where I have because of some other restrictions and dependencies from other libraries. So would be nice to have it working even as "happy accident" :). Thanks!
