The most recent discussions around the focus UX are so far reaffirming
that all components take focus on click out of the box, anything else is
likely wrong, or otherwise a special case. Click/ touch needs to pass on
focus so that subsequent keyboard navigation continues from that
respective component. It also needs to steal focus to be able to hide
the OSK which remains as long as any text input has focus. The only
thing that is not given on click/touch is visual indication of focus -
unless you use the keyboard to move around.

It's still possible that we find a case where this behavior needs to be
more refined, but right now it's looking like the reported bug is making
the wrong assumptions. You may want to validate your specific use cases
with UX - in the bug report no concrete use case is given so I can't
comment on that - but I'm happy to respond if you can be more specific.

Title:
  Button shouldn't steal focus by default

Status in Canonical System Image:
  In Progress
Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu RTM:
  New

Bug description:
  The upstream Button component has "activeFocusOnPress: false" as its
  default, that doesn't seem the case for our component, it probably
  should.

  Example

  "MainView {
      height: 600
      width: 350

      Column {
          anchors {
              left: parent.left
              right: parent.right
          }
          TextInput {
              anchors {
                  left: parent.left
                  right: parent.right
              }
              focus: true
          }
          Button {
              text: "click"
              /* don't steal focus, activeFocusOnPress: false*/
          }
      }
  }"
