Description

This issue respects the following points:
Describe the bug
  1. Make a new note
  2. Tap on the note's name
  3. "Change note title" popup opens, keyboard appears
  4. Cursor is invisible; text is not selected by default (for easy replacement)
  5. Input isn't stripped for trailing spaces when saving
Expected behavior

Cursor should be visible
Text should be selected by default (at the least when it has not been edited before)
Input should be stripped to avoid trailing spaces being saved, for example when using auto-completion with certain keyboards

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the Notes Android app by creating a note and tapping its name, then locate the code for the “Change note title” popup. Check the cursor, initial text selection, and handling of trailing spaces; the work is done when all three expected behaviors are met on save.
