Description
Hello
On wordpress version 5.7+ with ACF PRO version 5.9.1+ when I'm editing the post page with gutenberg and select or change the post category, all the ACF metaboxes bugs and I can't hide or show them anymore.
I tested in a clean installation of Wordpress 5.7+ with only ACF PRO plugin installed and the bug still happening
I checked and after the admin-ajax "acf/ajax/check_screen" from selecting the category ends, the admin-ajax "closed-postboxes" started running twice. But it only happens with the Gutenberg editor, if I active the plugin "Classic editor" this bug stops.
My system:
PHP: 7.4.3
Nginx
Worpdress 5.7.2
ACF PRO 5.9.6
Ajax running Twice:

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in WordPress 5.7+ with Gutenberg and ACF PRO, then inspect the admin-ajax acf/ajax/check_screen and closed-postboxes requests when changing a category. Compare the behavior with Classic Editor. Done means ACF metaboxes can still be shown or hidden after a category change and closed-postboxes is not triggered twice.
