The first fix handed Android's focus back from inside the keys' Click
handlers — which fire inside the UP event's dispatch, and Avalonia's
own view requests focus for itself after every handled touch dispatch
returns (AvaloniaView.DispatchTouchEvent, decompiled from 12.1.1). So
the platform's request ran after ours and undid it microseconds later,
which is exactly what the phone showed: the terminal still lost focus.

The return is now posted onto the main looper, landing one message
after the dispatch that stole, and it is wired at the row for both
halves of a press — DOWN steals too, and Click only exists for UP, so
a keyboard detached at DOWN would otherwise stay detached for the whole
length of the press. Check 11.10a now also says what a tolerable blink
looks like against a failure that stays.

halves of every touch and the return is posted right behind each theft, so the connection can visibly flap
for the press's own duration — what it must never do is *stay* swapped after the finger lifts.
**Failure means:** Android's own view focus stayed on Avalonia's input view after the tap instead of being
handed back. This is the half `Focusable = false` cannot reach — the platform moves its focus on the touch
itself, before Avalonia decides anything — and the symptom chain is the keyboard swapping to its no-input
layout and the inset churn parking it over the very row that was tapped. See

view after dispatching every handled touch — and the symptom chain is the keyboard swapping to its no-input

timing alone: it handed focus back from inside the very dispatch the platform re-steals it after. See
`TerminalFocus` in the Android head's Platform folder for both the mechanism and the fix's shape.
