Accordion block requires manual click to start editing, unlike other blocks #71933
Description
Description
Auto-focus feature is not working properly in the accordion block. I expect the cursor to immediately appear in the first editable field (summary/title) when the block is inserted, allowing me to start typing right away like other Gutenberg blocks, but nothing gets focused and I have to manually click on the summary field to start editing instead.
this might be related.
Step-by-step reproduction instructions
- Open WordPress block editor (Gutenberg)
- Click the "+" button to add a new block
- Search for and select "Accordion" block
- Observe that the block is inserted but no cursor appears
- Try typing immediately - nothing happens
- Compare with other blocks:
- Add a "Paragraph" block → cursor immediately appears, can type
- Add a "Heading" block → cursor immediately appears, can type
- Add "Accordion" block → no cursor, cannot type

Thank for the report @byteninjaa0
Can you please clarify, are you referring to the "Details block" (which can also be found with the keyword Accordion) or the new "Accordion block"?

@hanneslsm I tested the details block again, and I think the issue is with the accordion block and not the details block. I have updated my report accordingly.
