Current behaviour

  1. I use the "New ToDo" or "New Note" button
  2. A new empty window appears
  3. I have set the focus to "Title" in both cases in the configs
  4. There is no focus or cursor anywhere
  5. I need to click into either the title or the body to be able to start typing

Expected behaviour

typing is immediately possible according the focus set in the config
