The bug:
Most text input fields are un-editable until the cursor hovers over it. This makes it disruptive to, say, open a command block and immediately begin typing.
To reproduce:
1. In creative mode, open your inventory
2. Begin typing letters – observe that nothing is happening
3. Hover over the "search" input box with your mouse, then hover off
4. Continue typing – observe that the field has started working
Affects:
Creative menu
Command blocks
Anvils
Writable books
Does not affect:
Game chat
Signs
More details:
After a field is selected, other fields can only be activated by clicking, not simply hovering. Essentially, the expected behavior is as follows:
Default field immediately selected when GUI opened
Select any field by clicking only, hovering alone should do nothing
Clicking other buttons should deselect the selected field, with the exception of the creative menu, whose search bar should always be active if it's visible.

After consideration, the issue is being closed as Won't Fix.
Please note that this is not the same as Working as Intended, as this bug report correctly describes behavior in the game that might not be the intended or desirable behavior, but it will not be fixed right now.

I could only reproduce this with anvils, books and quills, and the Creative menu.
