I also notice that focus does not work on Chrome: when opening the node, the field must be focused.

I think the error is not just related to Safari, we need to set a timeout to give the editor time to open, or something else

Hi @knolleary,  
I updated the comment, I confirm that Safari is not the only one responsible.
