Issue number: resolves #
What is the current behavior?
Currently, if you focus on something and then refresh with a refresher, the browser will try to scroll to what's focused after refreshing. This can be an unexpected and disrupting user experience.

What is the new behavior?
With these changes, we blur the active element to prevent the browser from trying to scroll back to something off screen after refreshing.
Also, I did try to create regression tests for this, but playwright actually doesn't currently seem to make it possible as far as I can tell - that's actually what I spent most of my time on this issue trying to do. Looks like the only way to trigger the refresher with playwright uses mouse click events, which inherently blurs the active element. You need to use cursor events for this to work, because cursor events do not cause a blur on the active element.

Does this introduce a breaking change?
