Description
Fixes errors caused by focus being called on elements that Vue hasn't created yet.
setTimeout()
with no delay, just makes code run asynchronously, regardless of whether Vue has had time to create the elements or not. When you hold the R key on the trending tab, you trigger the refresh before Vue has had time to modify any HTML, so the element that we want to focus is never created. You might think that using Vue'snextTick()
function would be more appropriate, however as that delays until after the next DOM update, it would mean that in this case the code would be triggered multiple times (however many times the refresh finished while you were holding the R key), when you finally let go of the R.While I was at it, I decided to make the same change in other places that we call focus with a delay, which should hopefully fix similar errors caused by spamming/abusing FreeTube in those areas (looking at you @efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc with your auto clicker 🙄).
Testing
On the trending page, hold the R key and check that no errors appear in the console.
