TextField.requestFocus() and OnScreen Keyboard (Android/iOS) #1344
Description
We noticed an UX Issue when dealing with manual calls to requestFocus() on JavaFX Textfields.
It was observed when we used a "license activation" screen that automatically shifts the caret to the next text input.
Essentially we used a text property listener and when 5 characters wer entered, we requested focus of the next textfield in line.
Expected Behavior
the call to textfield.requestFocus() keeps the onScreen Keyboard on Android/iOS open so that the user can continue their input
Current Behavior
Manual calls to textfield.requestFocus() move the caret as expected, but the on screen keyboard on Android/iOS doesn't open. And if it was already opened, the focus lost of the previous text field closes it.
Steps to Reproduce
create a button and a textfield
when you click the button call requestFocus() on the textfield
Observe the onscreen keyboard does not open. Only after the user tapped on it manuall it will open.
