Search box glitch - In EWM after work item is loaded focus should not be set to the summary field.

In EWM after work item is loaded the focus is always set to the summary field. This different than in ETM or ERM.
With slow network connection following annoying behavior can occur:
1) open a work item (e.g. duplicate browser tab of existing work item, or click a work item in the query)
2) IMMEDIATELY start typing into the quick search box (before work item load is fully complete) .. on slow connection the work item is still loading in the background.
3) as soon as the work item load finishes, the focus is automatically pulled away from the search box and set to the summary box.
4) if the user is still continues typing, he is now typing into the summary of the work item.

Expected behavior:
Probably the best would be, that no work item field gets the focus after load, as in ETM and ERM.
Or the search box is either disabled until item is loaded, or focus should stay on search box.

    The EWM RFE Review board looked at this and decided to keep it on the Backlog as an uncommitted candidate for a future release.
