That's because the relatedTarget is the anonymous <div> inside the editor widget...

This is a duplicate of the bug on that <div> being generally visible to events.

Does anyone have a workaround for this issue? I am in shock that for one time
in my life I have to redesign because of a bug in firefox not ie. How can I
detect the issue because it occurs outside of a function and happens on focus
to the textbox? Anyone? ANYONE? ok anyone?
