A week or two ago (maybe earlier) I started having problems where I’d try to select something from the category dropdown, but the tag list would keep stealing focus. In the following video, I click the category dropdown on [https://try.discourse.org/](https://try.discourse.org/) and nothing else – focus is immediately shifted to the tag list.

It would only happen the first time I clicked the category dropdown. I would have to close/re-open the composer to trigger the issue again. However, on another Discourse forum, it was much more severe, and was almost impossible to select a category:

After switching tabs and coming back a few minutes later, the severity had dropped and was similar to the Discourse demo site. I verified this on the latest versions of Chrome/Firefox on Windows 10 Desktop.

Yeah this is pretty strange, @j.jaffeux can you add to your list?

Sorry about that, it should be fixed by [FIX: prevents mini-tag-chooser to catch unwanted focus · discourse/discourse@2c90a2e · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/2c90a2e5c25a0ee5090bb0d03e21e1bf3fc0c91c)
Thanks!
