Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ciur/papermerge/issues/625

Originally assigned to: @ciur on GitHub.

Description
After clicking on Create new folder a nice dialog appears to name the folder. I expect the input box to receive focus, so that I can immediately start typing in the name.

Also after typing the name hitting Enter does not submit the form (which in html code does miss form tag and is only surrounded by divs of the modal)

Info:

Papermerge Version 3.2

Fix is available in 3.3. The screenrecorder did not capture the mouse pointer, but that is not the important here. Important
part is that when modal opens - the title input component gets automatically the focus.

To double check it, run:

docker run -p 12000:80 \
    -e PAPERMERGE__SECURITY__SECRET_KEY=abc \
    -e PAPERMERGE__AUTH__PASSWORD=pass123 \
    papermerge/papermerge:3.3
