Editor: When switching Editor tabs, don't scroll unnecessarily.

- When switching to the Text view, wait until after the Visual editor element has been hidden, before focussing the `<textarea>`.
- When switching to the Visual view, only scroll if the cursor is not visible on the current screen.

Fixes #42530.
