Focus stolen after image paste completed resulting in mistyping and retries

Question

Here's the scenario:

1. Start editing in the Markdown editor (question or answer text).

2. Paste an image from your clipboard with Ctrl+V.

3. The image starts uploading - and can take a while.

4. While waiting, start editing the title of the question (maybe this would occur with other text also).

5. While you're typing, the image upload completes.

6. Focus immediately returns to the text of the embedded image.

7. Your next keystroke wipes out the image.

8. Do-over.

This doesn't seem intentional, or necessary? I suppose if the change in focus for some reason can't be prevented, at least is there some other workaround?

This occurs consistently. I'm using Chrome on Windows 10.

Answer 1

For me the focus isn't on the entire image itself:

It is on the "enter image description here" part only. So continuing to type after the image upload results in typing an image description, which is a very much likeable result, as images do need more image descriptions.

This also occurs when on the ask page, and entering a title.

I am using Firefox on Mac.
