[Peter Pin-Guang Chen [:petercpg] (MozTW.org)]

• Description:
  The position of input cursor / text selection should be reset after switching strings.

• URL: https://mozilla-pontoon-staging.herokuapp.com/translate/zh-TW/firefox/all-resources/?status=translated&string=192281

• Steps to reproduce:

1. Open any project on Pontoon Next
2. Find a string with longer translation which is easier to observe, however it applies to all strings
3. Move input cursor to some position or select some of it
4. Select another string on the left column

• Expected:

1. The input cursor should reset to beginning of the string after loading up new string
2. The input focus stays inside the input field

• Actual:

1. The cursor stays at the same position of the new string. If some part of string was selected the same range stays selected.
2. The focus moved away from input field
