Also seing this with latest trunk. The only possibility to focus the field is to
tab to it.

Reason that this happends is the following:
<script>
function disableselect(e)
{
	return false
}

function reEnable()
{
	return true
}

//if NS6
if (window.sidebar)
{
document.onmousedown=disableselect
document.onclick=reEnable
}
</script>

onclick triggers before onmousedown, so the onmousedown will return false and
not make it possible to focus the text field.

No more onmousedown or onclick handlers in the page

so FIXED as far as I'm concerned.
