Form Field dialog always pops up upon double clicking anywhere within the word document

Question

OverviewThis problem only occurs when certain steps are taken, but they are fairly common steps for form fields. This repros both with the online syncfusion demo webpage and on my own personal code. Once this component enters the condition, double clicking ANYWHERE on the document will cause a form field pop up to occur. Because of this bug, once we're in this condition, we can no longer select a word with a double click.Repro Steps1.Navigate to Syncfusion's Word Process Form Fields Demo: https://blazor.syncfusion.com/demos/document-editor/form-fields NOTE: the demo is already in Form Field filling mode.2. Click on the John form field and change the name to Bill, then hit the [OK] button to dismiss the dialog3. ﻿﻿Click the [Restrict Editing] button in the editor's toolbar4. In the menu pop-up select "Protections"5. On the left hand Restrict Edit sidebar, select the [Stop Protection] button6. Type 123 into the Unprotect Document password field and then hit the [OK] button7. Double click on the Bill form field (which is the full name)7. A Text Form Field dialog will appear. Hit the [OK] or [Cancel] button. Doesn't matter which.8. Now double click ANYWHERE on the document that is plain text or white space. The Text Form Field dialog will always appear.

Root cause:

In fireselectionchange method, we're setting the current formfield based on formFillingProtectionMode. when we turn off formFillingProtectionMode, the current formfield doesn't updated properly. So, the Formfield Popup opens based on considering the current form field.
