Dec 17, 2019

How to reproduce:
1. Open the attached 'project-1206181.zip' project
2. In the Editor select 'Bug' > 'Bug'
3. Try to type in any characters

Expected result: the text field is focused, you are able to type in characters
Actual result: the text field is NOT focused, you are NOT able to type in characters

Reproducible with: 2019.1.0a8, 2019.1.14f1, 2019.2.17f1, 2019.3.0f4, 2020.1.0a17
Could not test with: 2019.1.0a7 and earlier (Due to script errors)

Workaround for the issue: instead of using textField.Focus() use textField.Q("unity-text-input").Focus()

try this:
textField[0].Focus();

This is also occurring for us. The only workaround that has worked for me so far is to synthesize MouseDown and MouseUp events onto the field.
