Editable Textbox no autofocus online

URL of experiment: Eva Specht / TextBox no autofocus online · GitLab

Description of the problem:

In my experiment I use the editable TexBox (Beta) component to collect answers.

Offline, the text box gets auto-focus so that the test subjects don’t have to keep manually clicking in the box before typing in the answer.

Online, however, the text box does not get auto-focus. In each trial, the box must be manually clicked with the mouse before the answer can be typed and ‘Enter’ can be pressed to move on to the next trial.

Is this a bug in PsychoJS and does anyone have a solution to this problem?

I am using Builder, PsychoPy v2020.2.10 on macOS Catalina 10.15.7.

Thanks for helping!
