Description

When the left channel/server panel is open and the user taps the "< # General" control at the top to close the panel and return to chat, the chat view opens as expected. However, the tap event appears to pass through the panel during the closing transition and clicks into the "Search Message" input field in the chat header.

This causes the cursor to appear in the search field and the mobile keyboard to open unintentionally.

Steps to Reproduce

Navigate to Empirian Hall and open a channel
Open the left channel/server panel
Tap the "< # General" control at the top to close the panel
The chat view opens
The "Search Message" field is automatically focused
The mobile keyboard opens

Expected Behavior

Tapping "< # General" should only close the channel/server panel
The "Search Message" field should not receive focus unless explicitly tapped by the user
The keyboard should not open automatically when closing the panel

Actual Behavior

The tap used to close the panel also activates the "Search Message" input field
The cursor appears in the search field automatically
The mobile keyboard opens unintentionally
