Forced focus to example textbox on every (?) page can't be escaped? about bob HOT 5 CLOSED

I believe that this is intentional, to help show that the examples are editable. But it's probably not actually very effective, and I agree with you that it has ugly side effects. We should stop doing it.

@mdn/core-dev , please could you transfer this to mdn/yari?

@schalkneethling I transferred this issue to here. Seems like a pretty significant bug.

What does use of this option do?

autofocus: boolean
Can be used to make CodeMirror focus itself on initialization. Defaults to off.

Apparently original code from 3+ years ago, perhaps something recently changing elsewhere has caused this effort to surface so obtrusively? Perhaps experimenting with that option commented out so that it can default to 'false' would be worth a try?

@schalkneethling Can you please test to turn that to false and see how it behaves?
