keep focus on textarea after button click

[VadimNad]

Please advice how to keep focus on textarea element after clicking q-btn.

Tried to apply preventDefault

<q-btn @click.prevent="handleClick" label="click me" />

and stopPropagation

<q-btn @click.stop="handleClick" label="click me" />

But in any case textarea losses the focus after click. I know that focus can be returned back to textarea using focus() but on mobile it causes side effect like blinking embedded keyboard.

I can reach desired result by replacing q-btn with simple div and using mousedown event instead of click. Maybe there is a workaround to implement similar behavior with q-btn?
