Heh, not exactly what they meant here… But arguably more relevant.

@ApB

When you follow the same process and open a normal tab the keyboard shows up.

For me it seems to be when the new tab also makes the browser switch mode, regardless of which mode it is switching to/from. Well inside private mode it works fine.

What i described is the only way it doesn’t work as it should. I think at least.

To me it seems to be related to whether there are already open tabs in the mode we are switching to. If the new tab is the first one, the keyboard does not show up.
