Focus moved to editor from search field on second search input

[rezzap]

Expected

I'd expect the cursor to stay in the search field when doing a search on the web app.

Observed

When returning to the search field after doing an initial search, the cursor jumps to the first match of the first character typed and you end up editing the note in the editor instead of writing in the note field.

Reproduced

1. Go to Simplenote in Chrome on the web app.
2. Click on CMD+F or CTLR+F to focus on the search field.
3. Go through the search results.
4. Go back to the search field using CMD+F or CTLR+F and try searching for something different.
5. Notice after the first letter your type the cursor jumps to the note editor field and this takes over from the search field input.

Sounds related to this: #2530

Screen recording of the issue is available in the ticket, I was also able to reproduce consistently if help is needed to replicate this.

Huh. I can't reproduce this, but it sounds like the same issue as #2530. We're probably going to make some improvements to focus tracking in the upcoming version as part of #2599, but I'll leave this open so we can test it further.

Actually, @rezzap, if you pause for a few seconds after refocusing the search, does it fix the issue? The one that I've seen is a loading condition (the editor loads a bit more slowly than the search field / rest of the app, and requests focus when it loads, so it can be the case that it asks to be focused a second or two after the search field is loaded). This might also happen on switching notes, though I've only been able to reproduce it on a fresh reload.

@codebykat It doesn't make a difference whether I wait or not. I don't know if it makes any difference, but I go through the search results using CMD+G and then use CMD+F to go back to the search field. I tried waiting a few minutes before typing at all or after just typing the first character.
