Issues with required attribute

[kieranhogg]

Having an issue with required fields as the browser can't focus them after they have been replaced:

<textarea name="text" cols="40" rows="10" class="form-control" title="" required="" id="id_text" style="display: none;"></textarea>

var simplemde = new InscrybMDE({
        element: $("#id_text")[0],
        hideIcons: ["heading"],
        showIcons: ["heading-2", "heading-3"]
    });

Adding novalidate to the form works around the issue.
