Svelte actions (use:action) does not work as intended.

[onderbakirtas]

Describe the bug As in the title, use:action directive does not work as described in the docs, at least in my case. I want my input to be focused when it's loaded, this works in Svelte app but does not work in Sapper.

To Reproduce Create an input element with use:focus directive. The focus method have following code:

function focus(node) {
    node.focus();
    console.log('node: ', node)
    console.log('activeElement: ', window.document.activeElement)
    console.log('equality: ', node === document.activeElement)
    console.log('window: ', window)
  }

Expected behavior The input should have focus.

• Your hosting environment (i.e. Local, GCP/AWS/Azure, Vercel/Begin, etc...) Currently it's local environment.

• If it is an exported (npm run export) or dynamic application No, it's working on local via npm run dev.

Severity Annoying, also it is needed since autofocus attribute on input element does not work either.

Probably because of this line

A timeout should fix it.

function focus(node) {
  setTimeout(() => {
    node.focus();
    console.log('node: ', node)
    console.log('activeElement: ', window.document.activeElement)
    console.log('equality: ', node === document.activeElement)
    console.log('window: ', window)
  }, 0);
}

Thanks for taking your time to investigate the issue. Yeah, probably since sometimes with a hard refresh, I could see a glimpse of focus on the input. Should it be fixed by framework or we need to accept this and move on?
