Bug Description

If you try to copy something from the document page with an inline grid. And paste that content inside the grid cell, two cursors can be visible. And the text gets pasted only in the document.

How to Reproduce

Open or Create a new document
Insert a grid into the document
Write something in the document and copy it, or copy something already written in the document.
Paste it in one of the cells inside the grid. Using the paste shortcut ( if you paste by the context menu, then it works as expected )
Observe that the content is not pasted inside the grid and nothing seems to happen
Press the paste shortcut again and observe that the content gets pasted in the document and not in the grid. And at this point there are two cursors in the page.

Expected Behavior

Copied text should get pasted in the grid. Without two cursors appearing.

Operating System

MacOS 15.2 (24C101)

AppFlowy Version(s)

0.8.2

Additional Context

If you paste by the context menu, then it works as expected
That is if you right click in the grid cell and then select paste option, then you can see the expected behavior.
Has to do something with the document's cursor service, not giving up focus when grid is selected.
