I haven’t tested every possible menu, but I reckon this happens everywhere. But I’m worrying now theme changer on hamburgermenu.

This is from iPhone

Because there is a cursor blinking in search, it opens keyboard and make scrolling available themes really hard. So, it gets that famous focus, right?

Same thing with iPad.

Safari works as expected, though. Meaning whole selection pops up, and keyboard stays hidden.

I can reproduce on Chrome, on an Android A14. I’ve convinced myself that it’s by-design but not very user-friendly. But you never know 🤷 , it could be unintentional.
