Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

STR:

  1. Create a new note, or tap into an existing one
  2. Tap "Edit" (or the title) at the top to change the title

Obviously if I'm opening this dialog, I want to change the title. But I have to manually select the text to delete it.

Describe the solution you'd like

The title should be automatically highlighted for me.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None.

Additional context

I'm on Notes Android 4.3.1. The keyboard is GBoard.

Research direction

Start from the Android title-editing flow reached by tapping Edit or the note title, and inspect how the title input is initialized. Confirm the title text is selected automatically when the editor opens, then verify the behavior for both new and existing notes on Android.
