Textarea doesn't get focus when bootstrap modal is opened

I can't type in textarea, when the modal is opened.

Textarea is not in modal and has absolute positioning with large z-index.

<textarea style='position:absolute;z-index:200000'></textarea>

Can anyone override this problem?

Solution

It looks this line of code is the problem where Bootstrap enforces focus each time you show the modal. So let's remove the event each time:

$('#myModal1').on('shown.bs.modal', function (e) {
  $(document).off('focusin.modal');
})
