BUG: Form input item get value doesn't return the input value

If you try to get the input text in a from field using the API:

const title = (<Input>this.filtersForm.getItem(FormID.TITLE)).getValue() as string;

the returned value is an empty string if the focus is on the item itself. You have to click outside the form element in order to make the above method work.

You need to finish the edit process before the value will be applied to the control. This is the expected behaviour. You may use the input event, if you need to control the entering text.
