      Issue Summary

      When creating a new Confluence page, after entering the page title, attempting to move cursor to the content area (via TAB or a quick click) causes the focus to jump to the content area, then back to the title field.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Enter a title in the page title field.
      2. Press TAB to move focus to the page body (content area) OR click quickly in the page body (content area) to start editing.
      3. Observe where the keyboard focus ends up.

      Expected Results

      After pressing TAB or clicking in the content area, the keyboard focus should stay in the page body (content area) so the user can start typing content.

      Actual Results

      After pressing TAB or quickly clicking into the content area:

      • The focus briefly moves to the content area,
      • Then the focus jumps back to the page title field, preventing the user from immediately typing in the body.

      The below exception is thrown in the xxxxxxx.log file:

      Workaround

      This behavior only occurs the first time focus changes from the title to the body when creating a new page.

      As a workaround, you can:

      • Press TAB again to move focus back into the content area, or
      • Click once more in the body (content area) to place the cursor there.
