Description
Steps to reproduce
- open three-button menu on existing task
- click 'Add subtask'
Expected behaviour
The new input element inside addTaskForm is focused and I can start typing the name (it was before I updated to 0.14.5)
Actual behaviour
For a split-second, there is a cursor inside the input but it disappears very quickly.
No idea what has the focus but I don't see anything when I start typing.

gotta say, these templates are deterring devs with a dislike for wasted time - at least they are deterring me.
it'll narrow down the crowd of potential new contributers at the higher end.
i'm fairly sure that's not good in the long run.
three lines of well-chosen words would be enough for an issue like this.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by opening the three-button menu on an existing task and selecting “Add subtask”; inspect the input inside addTaskForm and the surrounding focus behavior. Test in the reported Chromium or Firefox setup, and consider the issue done when the new subtask input keeps focus so typing the name works immediately.
