Bug report

The ColorPickers in the Editor allow the user to change the text color or the background color of a selection in the component. When the Editor is working in Inline mode, if you select a text and manually enter a value in the HEX input of a ColorPicker, the pre-selected text is no longer selected. No text is colored inside the Editor.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open this Dojo and run it
2. Select a text in the inline Editor
3. Open one of the ColorPickers and enter a value in the HEX input
4. Apply the HEX value

Current behavior

The ColorPicker closes. The selected text in the Editor before opening the ColorPicker is no longer selected. No text in the Editor is in the color entered in the HEX editor.

Expected/desired behavior

Clicking on the Apply button of the ColorPicker, after a HEX value is entered, should close the ColorPicker and color the pre-selected text. This correct behavior can be observed in the second Editor in the linked above Dojo example.

Environment

            var metaElement = iframeContent.find('meta') // Traverse down the DOM tree to reach the <meta> element
    
            metaElement.remove()// Remove all the <meta> elements

            var backColor = editor.toolbar.element.find("input[data-command='backColor']").data("kendoColorPicker");

Hi Team,

While updating to 2023.1.314, I reviewed the change logs, breaking changes(Unified Rendering, Editor/Toolbar), and roadmap pages.  But, there was a major change where the height of the textarea is now the total height of the editor and not the height of the editable area anymore.  

Please, I would like to request there to be a clear note specific to this change in the documentation, and to help future developers who need to update their Kendo UI Editors. 

Thank you!
