Why is the focus event fired twice from a Vue 3 child component?

When I fire a focus event from a top level input field in Vue 3:

<input @focus="$emit('focus')">

...the event is fired once when the input field is focused (as I would expect).

However, when you put this same input field into a child component and focus it:

<InputField @focus="$emit('focus')" />

...the event is fired twice.

See https://stackblitz.com/edit/vue-wjhche?devToolsHeight=33&file=src/components/HelloWorld.vue

Can you please help me to understand why this is happening? Thanks!

So, you shouldn't put a focus event in the child component, and also in the input field too, as the child component already will bind its focus event to the input so the focus event will be called twice, as the input is the root element.

Just removing the focus event from the input will solve the issue.
