Re-rendering can cause an input field to lose focus.

[jwmerrill]

In this example, typing in the input field causes it to immediately lose focus.

The issue is apparently that whenever the number of elements in a flow changes, all the elements in the flow are re-rendered. Re-rendering an input causes it to lose focus.

Avoiding re-rendering input fields unnecessarily would mean this bug would manifest less often, but the robust solution is to make sure that re-rendering restores focus.

Some discussion and a work around for this particular case here:

Sorry this did not get attention til now! The Graphics.* modules now live in evancz/elm-graphics so I am trying to get stuff migrated over there. The input elements did not make the leap though, so the fix is to use HTML and SVG for this sort of stuff.
