154803 - JavaScript blur/focus; Unexpected Cursor Drawing

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect, P4)

Description

[Jon Davis]

When using JavaScript to focus on a field other than the field clicked on (or
tabbed to), the cursor is drawn where the user navigates to, even though input
focus is given to the field focus()-ed on by JavaScript.  When this happens the
cursor may be blinking in a different field than where characters are drawn when
typing.

The input does go into the correct field (as specified by the JavaScript), but
it is not obvious to the user where the focus really is.

Attachment: Form Test w/JavaScript

Includes three fields each of which have requirement priorities such that the
first field must have data before successive fields can be used.  Notice how
clicking on the later fields will cause input focus to be redirected to the
first field even though the cursor is drawn in the field in which you click (or
tab).

Thsi worksforme with a current build, presumably due to one of bryner's recent
changes. 

Marking so, but please reopen if you still see the issue.
