That should not make a difference, as far as I know. FocusScope redirects focus to the last child who requested it.
I believe in this case, the problem might be that something is setting focus:false on the QQuickTextInput. When you do that, the FocusScope does not know whom to redirect the focus to anymore, as far I know. And that would explain why nothing is happening. So, in the beginning TextInput has focus true, so when TextField is focused it redirects the focus to QQuickTextInput. Then somehow QQuickTextInput focus is set to false. The next time TextField is focused, it doesn't redirect the focus to QQuickTextInput because it is actually *not* asking for focus (i.e. it's focus property is false).

When that happens, pressing Ctrl+L (which forces focus on the address bar) doesn’t fix it. I added some debugging to the browser (printing Window.activeFocusItem whenever it changes), and it appears that when initially forcing active focus on the address bar the QQuickTextInput inside it gets active focus, then looses it. At that point the activeFocusItem is the TextField, but it doesn’t forward it to QQuickTextInput inside itself. That situation can be remedied by using a bluetooth mouse to click on the address bar, which restores active focus on the QQuickTextInput.
