Web developer people. I am lacking the vocabulary to complain about something to the IT folks at my work.

We are using a very sloppy online exam software with MANY bugs. One of which is this, and I'm looking to explain it using the right terminology:

When editing a field, the field randomly becomes "unfocused" causing the key presses to register as browser shortcuts. Is there a better way to describe this?

@bbbhltz “The input field loses focus when typing” should explain pretty well the problem (although what you’ve already said is basically the same and they should understand that as well)

@bbbhltz Yeah, "focus" is exactly the right technical word to describe that. We usually say an input gains or loses focus.
