[18.0] web_remember_tree_column_width: Column resize breaks typing/edit focus in list views #3217

Describe the bug

After resizing a column in any editable tree (list) view, input focus is lost. Users are unable to continue typing or navigating via keyboard until they manually click back into a cell.

This issue breaks expected keyboard-driven workflows and significantly impacts usability for data entry.

A workaround is to resize another column again, which temporarily restores typing focus.

To Reproduce

Affected versions:
Odoo 18.0 Enterprise (on-premise)

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Open any editable tree/list view (e.g. Sales Order lines, Products, etc.)
2. Click into a field and begin typing.
3. Resize any column by dragging its edge.
4. Attempt to continue typing or press Tab — input focus is lost. including in the search bar - you cannot type at at all

Expected behavior

After resizing, the input focus should remain active in the current cell or be restored automatically so the user can continue typing, searching or tabbing.

Additional context
• Browser: Chrome, Safari (MacOS + Windows tested)
• Module version: web_remember_tree_column_width (OCA, 18.0)
• Typing focus only returns after manually clicking a cell or resizing another column again.
• The bug appears in multiple views and is reproducible across different models.
