Just to add to what others said, it is actually a problem when some input in an iframe is having focus which is then closed causing all other inputs to lose focus. And indeed having a script to set focus to an element solves the problem. But for me this wasn't working because some of my inputs were disabled. So the solution that worked for me is below

Complete snippet as I was using bootstrap modal and the modal had an iframe. I set the focus to an editable field before opening a model and after closing:

var modalInstance = $uibModal.open({
    // modal properties
  });
modalInstance.closed.then(function () {
  $("input[type=text]:not([disabled])").first().focus();
});
modalInstance.opened.then(function () {
  $("input[type=text]:not([disabled])").first().focus();

});
