Bug Description

Creating a kanban board with "/Create a new Board" or referencing one inside a document with "/Referenced Board" causes all "/" commands to stop working. The only way to fix it is to get rid of the referenced board. This does not effect grids and calendars.

How to Reproduce

Create a new document.
Use "/Create a new Board" or "/Referenced Board" in that document.

Expected Behavior

It should use the "/" properly.

Operating System

Windows 11

AppFlowy Version(s)

0.5.8, 0.5.9

This bug still exists and it's not only with board reference, create a grid reference focus on one of cells then focus on document you will see same problem.
What I've found is when keayboardService.disable() is called after slash command menu showing (here), Sometimes DatabaseBlockComponentWidget onFocusChange is called which clears the selection and causes the problem of not being able to reference another board or grid.
