Stop the terminal's accessory keys taking the keyboard off it
Ctrl, Esc, Tab, the arrows and the two text-size keys were ordinary Avalonia buttons sitting over a NativeWebView. An ordinary button takes focus on tap, which takes it off the WebView — and the package's own OnLostFocus then calls the adapter's ResignFocus(). So pressing Tab handed the terminal one byte and took the keyboard away from it, and everything typed afterwards went nowhere. What makes it worth more than a one-line fix is the symptom. The row goes on working, because its keys are pressed rather than typed into, so what you see is a terminal that answers the buttons and ignores the keyboard — which reads as the session having died rather than as anything to do with focus. Focusable = false is what a toolbar button is: these keys are an extension of the keyboard, not a place it should go. The focused element then never changes, so nothing resigns and nothing has to be handed back — which matters, because the hand-back is the direction platform-flags already records as the hard one. The flags file gains the phone's half of that entry, and check 11.10 is the measurement: this needs a paired hardware keyboard and there is no test on this head that could stand in for one.

With a shell open and a Bluetooth or USB keyboard paired, type into the terminal and confirm it arrives.

Now tap **Tab** on the accessory row, or **A+**, and type again.

is a terminal that answers the buttons and ignores the keyboard: it reads as the session having died. See

tap of an arrow key.
