Description

Using the iPad magic keyboard I cannot input text immediately into the demo text fields. If I focus away and click around a few times or take some other actions (pasting appear to be one) it will suddenly become live and I can enter text.

On reload sometimes the keyboard works, sometimes it doesn't.

Possibly related: using the "select all" hotkey (CMD-a) results in an extra cursor being visible (see screenshot)![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/140215/122941725-a6d24600-d343-11eb-837b-8ac2ad30fa6c.jpeg)

Research direction

Start with the demo text fields on an iPad using the Magic Keyboard, reproducing the intermittent inability to type after reload and the extra cursor after CMD-a. Compare behavior after focusing, clicking around, and pasting; done means text entry works immediately and select-all no longer shows an extra cursor.
