AngularJS causing textarea focus loss

Question

My web app was deployed with angularjs 1.3.7, wakanda 10.187175, etc...

When the app does an angular/wakanda .save() , the textarea cursor position is often moved to 0,0

This happens in chrome and safari .

Updating to the current version of angularjs is not an option at this time.

.directive ('ckEditor', function () {
    return {
        require: '?ngModel',
        link: function($scope, $elm, attr, ngModel) {

            var config = {
                toolbar:[
                    { name: 'paragraph', items: [ 'NumberedList', 'BulletedList'] },
                    { name: 'clipboard', items: [ 'Cut', 'Copy', 'Paste', '-', 'Undo', 'Redo'] },
                    { name: 'insert', items: [ 'SpecialChar'] },
                    { name: 'editing', items: [ 'Scayt', 'Options', 'Dictionaries', 'Check Spelling'] }
                ]
            };//, 'PasteText', 'PasteFromWord'

            config.toolbarLocation = 'top';
            config.scayt_autoStartup = true;
            config.autoParagraph = true;
            config.title = false;
