Description

Minor quibble. With most select fields in ACF, when you click on them, it auto-focuses the search field so that you can start typing and find what you want to select.

With the Post Object field, it does not - after you click the select, you have to mouse up to and click what is a pretty tiny search field which isn't the greatest for accessibility.

Could this be adjusted to work like the others?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Post Object field behavior and compare it with the other ACF select fields that focus their search input automatically. Trace the Post Object select entry point and verify that clicking the field places focus in its search field without disrupting keyboard or accessibility behavior.
