* SUMMARY
With latest Leopards, I'm unable to send a text message because the From, Reply To, and Callback Number text fields don't allow proper input.  When I try to send the message, I get an error message on the website..

This happens on 9A230 (but same problem occurs on 9A210)
Firefox works fine.

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to www.vtext.com
2. Try to enter some text in the From: or Reply To Address fields.

* RESULTS
Entered text doesn't display properly.  If you choose to ignore this and send the message, you'll get an error displayed on the page.

* REGRESSION
Provide information on steps taken to isolate the problem. Describe circumstances where the problem occurs or does not occur, such as software versions and/or hardware configurations.

* NOTES
Document any additional information that might be useful in resolving the problem, such as references to related problems, leads on diagnosis, screen shots, included attachments, and any workarounds.

If you need a test account to try to send the message to, my cell is 303-912-9590.

Each time you type a letter, it seems to select it, so then you type another and it types over it. I think that's because it does a blur/focus every time it looks at what you're typing.

Still occurs in Leopard 9A325

I think the tab-focus behavior will need to be different from the js focus() behavior.  FF selects all text in the text field on tab, and either sets the caret at the end or restores the cached selection on focus().  I don't think we should copy the caret at the end behavior, but we can restore the cached selection on focus().

simplified test case

it is a focus/blur issue (as Darin pointed out previously)
