Repro steps
- 1.Navigate to the Nuxt UI SelectMenu component documentation page (/docs/components/select-menu).
- 2.Scroll down to the interactive Usage preview showing the USelectMenu component.
- 3.Click on the SelectMenu combobox trigger to open the dropdown menu.
- 4.Observe the focus state of the internal search input inside the dropdown.
Expected
Opening the SelectMenu should not automatically focus the search input unless explicitly configured or on desktop navigation, preventing the virtual keyboard from popping up unintentionally on touch/mobile devices.
Actual
The internal search input is immediately focused upon opening the SelectMenu dropdown, causing mobile virtual keyboards to appear automatically.
Evidence
visualSelectMenu trigger is clicked and the menu opens with the internal search input instantly receiving active focus.
visualClosing via Escape and reopening the SelectMenu at 17.5s reproduces the same immediate focus behavior on the search input.

### Summary When opening `USelectMenu`, the internal search input is immediately and automatically focused. On mobile and touch devices, this triggers the software keyboard to pop up immediately upon opening the dropdown, obstructing the options list. ### Steps to Reproduce 1. Open the Nuxt UI SelectMenu documentation page (`/docs/components/select-menu`) [0.0s]. 2. Scroll down to the Usage example [2.5s - 3.0s]. 3. Click the SelectMenu combobox trigger to open the dropdown [7.8s]. 4. Observe that the search input immediately receives focus [9.5s]. ### Expected Behavior Opening the dropdown should not auto-focus the search field by default (or should defer auto-focusing on mobile/touch interfaces) to avoid opening the on-screen keyboard. ### Actual Behavior The search input inside the dropdown immediately gains focus upon open [9.5s, 17.5s]. *Recorded with SceneRecap.*
