Note - I just discovered this also happens when pressing Ins. while
editing the Notes field of a task. If I edit the notes, then press Alt. +
1, then press Ins., the problem does not occur and I can edit the newly
created task's title field as normal.

You could use input parsing and write your task AND the context at the
same time.
For example:
Remember to watch Ramzpaul video @HomeComputer
or
Remember to watch Ramzpaul video context HomeComputer
and then clicking Alt+Enter will create a new task with the appropiate
context.
From the Help Notes:
Context
If you add reserved words context or @ to the phrase the contexts
will be added to the task. The contexts should be separated by semicolons
(;)
The pattern:
What? [When?] [remind[er]] [When?] [context | @] context1;context2
; context3
Examples:
Call Jim tomorrow context @office; @calls
Send report in 3 days remind tomorrow 10:00 @ ProjectX
Tip: If the context starts with @ you can skip the reserved words. In
this case the first word which starts with @ is interpreted as a context.
Example:
Call Jim tomorrow @office; @calls
Tip: you can use the +@ switch to add contexts to the task (not replace
them). Example: “Call Bob +@ phone” or Buy ticket +@internet

This is a small and strange bug, but I figured you might want to know:
I often use hotkeys when entering new tasks. For example, I almost always
use the Ins. or Alt + Ins. to create a new task. I then immediately
type in the task title, then press Alt + C to type in the context. Often,
when I have to enter a series of tasks, I will quickly repeat this series
of operations. What I discovered is this - If I enter the task name into
the new task's title field, press Alt + C, then type in the context (say,
for example, phone calls), if I IMMEDIATELY press Ins. to create a new
task, the new task will be created, but the cursor will not be placed
inside the task title field of the new text. The practical effect is, if
I'm not paying attention, I will immediately start typing the task title,
and instead of this title being entered in the task title field, it will
instead operate as a search and bring up the first task in the view that
starts with whatever letter I just typed. This is a minor nuisance...unless
I make it as far as hitting the space bar before noticing what I've done.
This then completes whatever the last task was that MLO brought up,
There is a workaround. If I type a new task title, press Alt + C, type
in the context, AND THEN hit enter, or tab, or Alt. + 1 to modify the
task notes, then the next time I hit Ins., a new task will be created and
the cursor will be inside the task title field, and I can immediately start
typing the next task title.
