Description

If a new window is created using window.open() and then the json editor is created with target property set to wind.document.body where wind is the new window or any other element inside wind, the editor stops functioning as usual. There seems to be some issue with focusing on the right element. E.g. the text field for key is not focused when a new prop is created.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate focus management in Svelte when the editor's target element is in a different window. Look at how the editor attaches event listeners and focuses on input fields, especially when creating new properties. The issue may be related to cross window focus restrictions or incorrect element references.
