I always add a reason when I edit a post, and it takes one extra click to do it. If a user clicks the “add edit reason” link, you can safely assume they will immediately be typing in the edit reason, so the input field should immediately get focus for input.

Tying this together with [Pressing "Add edit reason" button does not auto-focus into the text field](https://meta.discourse.org/t/pressing-add-edit-reason-button-does-not-auto-focus-into-the-text-field/39140)

Sure, good idea!

Also the CSS was WAY off.
