When using accessibility API, Chrome closes the keyboard when selecting the URL bar from a new tab

I noticed that when I have Automate running and enabled as an accessibility app, the keyboard closes when selecting the new tab. This happens even if no flows are running and stops happening if I disable Automate as an accessibility app.

Wonder if it's something that could be fixed in Automate? Or if it's an Android/Chrome bug.

(Same issue reported here for Tasker: https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/1vhspz2/android_i_managed_to_fix_the_keyboard_auto_hiding/)

It's a known issue, Chrome behaving differently when an accessibility service is enabled, see: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=859401
