In an unformatted texfield, there is a border around all 4 edges.  In Mozilla,
when you click on this border, the cursor positions itself at the end of the
text instead of where you click.

A testcase will follow.

Attachment: Testcase: Example of Problem

Here is a testcase to provide an example of the issue.

One of the things I did find out, is that Example #2 occurs in Internet
Explorer as well.  It still seems like a bug to me, even if it does occur in
IE, but perhaps there is a reason.
