Minimal case below:
x = new OO.ui.TextInputWidget(); $('#bodyContent').prepend(x.$element); x.focus(); // doesn't work x.$element.focus(); // doesn't work
Expected: the text input should get focus and be ready to accept text input
Actual: nothing happens
Either I'm doing this wrong, or it's a bug. Tested on Firefox, Chrome, and Opera.

x.focus() works for me. Note that if you run this from the browser console, you won't see the effect, because the console window has the focus rather than the website window. Try putting this code in a click handler or something for testing.
