SEO analysis for products reports text length as 0 words when using Elementor Pro and WooCommerce

[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

Yoast SEO is unable to see the text when Elementor Pro is active. This does not occur when Elementor free is active. The analysis works for non-products and when viewing the non-Elementor editor screen but shows 0 words after opening Elementor editor with their Pro version active.

Reported to Elementor support as well.
