The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Hi Tony!
this should be corrected with 116.0.2. Can you try to see if that fixed it for you?
Also, are you using ZoneAlarm anti-keylogger?

Temporarily setting it to S2 which is same as bug 1847033.
