Incorrect keyphrase density highlight on WYSIWYG repeater field causing some characters to display HTML entity

[amboutwe]

• I've read and understood the contribution guidelines.
• I've searched for any related issues and avoided creating a duplicate issue.

Please give us a description of what happened.

Sometimes, the highlight tool converts &, <, and > to &, <, and >.

Does not happen for these characters !"#$%'()*+,-./:;=?@[\]^_{|}~

Please describe what you expected to happen and why.

Clicking the density highlight should not change the text.

How can we reproduce this behavior?

Starting with a vanilla installation:

1. Install and activate Yoast SEO (free)
2. Install and activate Advanced Custom Fields PRO (license required)
3. Import ACF field group (see below)
4. Install and activate ACF Content Analysis for Yoast SEO
5. Go to Admin > Posts > Add New Post
6. Add title and content (see below)
7. Click 'Add Row' in the 'Sample repeater group'
8. Enter ACF content in WYSIWYG box (see below)
9. Add keyphrase Donec
10. Expand the SEO analysis
11. Click the highlight eye icon next to the Keyphrase density check
12. See the highlight isn't around the keyphrase and character changes to HTML.
13. If this doesn't happen: Note where the highlights appear on your screen. Unclick the eye highlight and add & to the middle of where the highlighted color appears. Click the eye again. Might take a few tries to get the right location.
