JQuery .focus() not working

[fauria]

Focusing on a textarea that has been converted to emojiarea does not work:

$("#my-textarea").focus();

Could you provide some additional details? What version of jquery are you using and can you provide an example?

I know this post is old, but +1
I really need this to work

However this "bug" is old ... the solution is to work with plain JS or do it this way:

$('.emoji-wysiwyg-editor').get(0).focus();

Seems like it is working without any issues as far as I can tell.
