I believe this is related to #2129 and #1855. There was a discussion around if we want the keyboard to pop up immediately or not, I'm not sure if that has been resolved / if there's a conclusion yet. It's possible we can close this, as the solution to the linked issue(s) should resolve this too.

Yes, I agree @Beamanator. We don't want yet another person focused on working this very similar issue as it will become very difficult to track the progress.
