Problem/Motivation

In the field UI, when region or plugin fields are changed, an Ajax form is updated by triggering mousedown on a hidden submit element

$('input[data-drupal-selector="edit-refresh"]').trigger('mousedown');

As a result, focus is transferred to this hidden element as seen here

This is a cosmetic problem due to the page scrolling down and an accessibility problem because the focus is not visible

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Add a mousedown listener to the hidden submit element, use that to keep track of the element that should remain in focus. Then, in a focus listener on that hidden element, immediately return focus back to the element that should be retaining it.
