The Edit Reference wheel pickers (@ncdai/react-wheel-picker) have built-in Arrow-key handling on their internal element, but that element only received focus when tabbed to. On click the library calls preventDefault() on mousedown to drive its drag/scroll, which also stops the browser from focusing the wheel, so after clicking a wheel the Up/Down arrow keys did nothing. Focus the wheel ourselves on click to close that gap; tab users already get focus for free. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Fixes TT-7622: in the Mark Verses → Edit Reference dialog, the Chapter/Verse/Suffix wheel pickers did not respond to the keyboard Up/Down arrow keys after being clicked.
Root cause
The wheel pickers use
@ncdai/react-wheel-picker, which does have built-in Arrow-key handling on its internal[data-rwp]element — but that element only receives keyboard focus when tabbed to. On click, the library callspreventDefault()onmousedown(to drive its drag/scroll gesture), andpreventDefaultonmousedownalso stops the browser from moving focus to the element. So after the user clicked a wheel (the exact repro steps), the wheel never had focus and its arrow-key handler never fired.Fix
Focus the wheel's internal element ourselves in an
onClickhandler on the wheel column wrapper. Keyboard users who tab in already get focus for free, so this is a no-op for them; it only closes the click-then-arrow gap.Test plan
