Typing gets interrupted and the field gets erased

[mariejoechahine]

Once in a while some of our tests that are typing into date fields fail because of the typing stopping midway through and the text in the field disappears
When i press on the type step i get the following table in the logs

Another example with another field, each time it types part of it

Here is the code in the step definition:

      cy.get(`[data-cy=${dateId}] > .MuiInputBase-root > .MuiInputBase-input`)
        .as('dateSelector')
        .focus()
        .clear();

      cy.wait(100).get('@dateSelector').focus().type(`${targetDate}`);

We've been having this issue for such a long time, with both Cypress v9 and v12

It's only reproduced once every 10 or more times which makes it even harder to debug

it's happening when trying to type into a KeyboardDatePicker field from the library @material-ui/pickers
Not sure if it is the mui library that has issues, but it's working fine outside of the tests

Not sure if it might be related to one of the issues mentioned in #5480
