Cmd + F no longer focuses the search field in Apple Music (v1.6.1.44)

Hi everyone,

I noticed a change in behavior with the latest version of Apple Music (version 1.6.1.44) on macOS Tahoe 26.1.

Previously, pressing Command + F would instantly focus the cursor in the search text field, allowing me to start typing immediately. However, since the update, the shortcut opens the search bar but does not focus the text field. I now have to manually click the box to begin typing, which defeats the purpose of the shortcut.

Has anyone else experienced this on this OS version? Is there a setting or a workaround to restore the original behavior where the cursor auto-focuses?

Thanks in advance for any help!
