Tinymce: Can no longer set toolbar to show manually in latest TinyMCE

[programmin1]

In earlier versions (4.2.8) you could have an input directly related to a inline TinyMCE field, set so that selecting it does not hide the editor toolbar, confusing the user:

jQuery('[type=text]').on('focus', function() {
        tinymce.activeEditor.fire('focus')
});

Unfortunately this does not work in the latest TinyMCE in Chrome, you can hardly ever actually get the related input to work, clicking it just jumps to the TinyMCE editor to type into it:

Is this a deep bug within MCE or am I missing a function other than fire('focus') that can call up the toolbar, yet not force focus?

If #2787 were fixed we could know if editor.theme.panel.$el exists and after that event, call $el.show() as necessary.

I'm surprised this is so deeply tied to inline vs iframe mode - seems inline editor cannot be set to always show a toolbar, and there isn't an option to not show toolbar when unfocused, on the default iframe MCE editor. Can we have an option to customize/override this behavior?
