**Bug Report: Text Field Does Not Show Cursor or Accept Input Properly**

**Description:**  
When clicking on a specific text field – editing information about an entry/media and going to 'General \> Title – in the application, the expected behavior (showing a blinking cursor and allowing text input) does not occur. Unlike other text fields in the software, this one does not display a cursor, and attempting to type or paste into it has no effect.

**Steps to Reproduce:**

1. Navigate to the affected section of the software (Edit Media Information \> General \> Title).
2. Click on the problematic text field.
3. Observe that no blinking cursor appears.
4. Try to type or paste text (e.g., a movie name).

**Expected Behavior:**  
Clicking the field should show the blinking text cursor and allow normal text input or pasting.

**Actual Behavior:**

- No blinking cursor appears when the field is clicked.
- Pasting text into the field does nothing.
- It seems to invisibly select content _outside_ the field instead of focusing the field itself.

**Notes:**

- All other text fields in the application behave correctly.
- This issue occurs consistently only in this one field.
- The field may be capturing input focus incorrectly or triggering an unintended selection elsewhere in the UI.

**Environment:**  
Windows 11 64bit

**Solving the issue:**

Click the text field twice, but with a short pause in between clicks.

Replicability sometimes not possible, but the issue occurs every single time for me when I change a new entry into my library.

Example:

This is after I have clicked on the ‘Titel’ text field, typing will result in nothing happening (at least visibly).

Clicking twice, fast, results in the following example:

I haven’t noticed this issue with Shows or Music but I also didn’t test to replicate it.
