Yes, this problem still seems to be there, quite annoying for user experience and it seems you also can't force it to focus through regular scripting.
This has been resolved on dev. It was actually a bug with autofocus in general.
Here is a workaround until next release https://codepen.io/johnjleider/pen/RZxqeK
Thank you for the assistance!
