UI.inputbox no longer has focus

Developers Ruby API
1

In all previous version of SU, when I execute UI.inputbox,the input field in the popup has focus, so the user can begin typing right away. This has changed in SU26. The user must first click in the input field before they can type. I use this in a small plugin (rename component instances) that was designed to save keystrokes and clicks, so this is very annoying.

This was supposed to have been fixed in the last update:

I just tested on Windows 11 under SU 26.2.243 and it works as we would expect:

name = UI.inputbox(["Name"],[],"Info").first

I.e., I do not need to click in the Name textbox.

Thanks, @DanRathbun . Just needed an update.
