Markdown widget loses focus on initial entry

bug

- What is the current behavior?

The markdown editor uses a debounce for updating it's value in the redux store, about 150ms I believe. The first time this debounce runs, the editor loses focus. So usually just after the first character is typed. Only happens that one time in the session, and only if the editor was initially empty.

- If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

• Open an entry with an empty markdown widget
• Start entering text

- What is the expected behavior?

Markdown widget should not lose focus.

- Please mention your CMS, node.js, and operating system version.

CMS 1.0.2

It's almost certainly due to new logic included with 1.0:

https://github.com/netlify/netlify-cms/blob/master/src/components/EditorWidgets/Markdown/MarkdownControl/VisualEditor/index.js#L52-L58

The purpose of that change was to resolve an issue where the markdown field did not reset it's value if you went directly to a new entry from an existing entry. It now appears that it didn't resolve that problem either.

Had to revert fix, still an issue.
