Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

The currency search field fails to autofocus.

What is the root cause of that problem?

The selection list gains focus after the text input is initially focused which triggers a blur on the text input.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

Add shouldDelayFocus prop to the OptionsSelector in IOUCurrencySelection.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

None.
