Describe the issue

When editing a pocast episode description and navigating the text description to insert links and formatting, arrow key navigation does not work properly in the ui-rich-text-edit, specifically when moving the cursor without selecting text.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. View pocast episode list and click the pencil icon on an individual episode to bring up the details/match tabs.
  2. All text and textarea fields, when active, allow arrow-key navigation.
  3. Activate the 'Description' field and paste or type text if it doesn't already exist.
  4. Shift-arrow-key selects text as expected, as do up/down arrows, however left/right arrow keys by themselves do not move the cursor, and instead will usually, briefly (for a half-second or so) pop up the 'Please Wait' progress indicator overlay animation.
