Research direction

Start with the provided Shepherd.Tour reproduction and Quasar dialog markup, then trace the tooltip and focus-handling entry points responsible for moving focus after the dialog opens. Reproduce the issue with the address inputs and verify that focus remains on the pincode input instead of moving to the first input.

 const tour = new Shepherd.Tour({
    defaultStepOptions: {
      scrollTo: false,
      showCancelLink: true
    }
  });
  tour.addStep({
    id: 'test-button',

    attachTo: {
      element: '[data-cy="test-button"]',
      on: 'bottom'
    },
    buttons: [

          setTimeout(() => {
            tour.next();
          }, 200);
        }

  tour.addStep({
    id: 'pincode-input',
    text: 'Enter your pincode here.',
    attachTo: { element: '[data-cy="pincode-input"]', on: 'bottom' },
    beforeShowPromise: () => {

Quasar dialog code:

<q-dialog v-model="prompt" no-focus
            persistent>
    <q-card data-cy="address-dialog"
            style="min-width: 350px">
      <q-card-section>
        <div class="text-h6">Your address</div>
      </q-card-section>

      <q-card-section class="q-pt-none">
        <q-input data-cy="address-input"
                 dense
                 v-model="address" />
        <q-input data-cy="address2-input"
                 dense
                 v-model="address2" />
        <q-input data-cy="pincode-input"
                 dense
                 v-model="pincode" />
      </q-card-section>

      <q-card-actions align="right" class="text-primary">
        <q-btn data-cy="address-cancel"
               flat
               label="Cancel"
               v-close-popup />

        <q-btn data-cy="address-add"
               flat
               label="Add address"
               v-close-popup />
      </q-card-actions>
    </q-card>
  </q-dialog>

The Pincode input is initially focused when the Shepherd tooltip is displayed, but the focus is then automatically moved to the first input field.
