Find bar (CTRL+F popup) does not receive focus after opening (UX bug since August 6th beta)
ISSUE
The find bar (CTRL+F popup) does not become focused after opening.

After opening the find bar by pressing CTRL + F, you have to manually click on the search field to activate the text cursor and be able to start typing.

Before doing that you also cannot use BACKSPACE to delete an old search term or use ESC to dismiss the find bar.

This issue did not appear before the August 6th beta.

OS
Windows 10 / 11

STEPS
1. Press CTRL + F to open the find bar
2. The find bar appears without a text cursor in the input field
3. Start typing text to begin a search
4. Press ESC to dismiss the find bar

RESULTS
Step 3 and 4 fail.
You have to use your mouse to click into the search input field in order to be able to perform these actions.

EXPECTED
The search input field of the find bar becomes always immediately focused after opening the find bar with CTRL+F.
This allows Step 3 and 4 to be possible immediately after opening the find bar with CTRL+F.
