[laurel]

Offshoot of bug 114960
Using feb18 commercial trunk

In some cases highlighting the existing text in the QuickSearch text field is
just a brief flash and is lost to an end-of-input cursor.  Highlight is easily
lost when changing focus then back to search field multiple times, clicking at
end of/empty portion of text field or generally clicking quickly/not holding
click in field.

1.   Type text in the quicksearch text field, wait for search results view to
complete.
2.   Click in the message pane to remove focus from search field. Click back -->
usually OK, text is highlighted.
3.   Without changing search, click in message pane again then back to search
field.  Usually it will flash briefly then highlight is lost to cursor at end of
text.
4.   On same or different search, click in message pane then click at the end of
the search field (in empty space, not immediately after text).  Highlight lost
quickly.
