addressino is a web application which creates its own tabs. 
content is introduced into the tabs by means of iframes. 
in all tabs you can open  forms where you can edit data. 
the blinking text editor (vertical bar), which should be visible in all input
fields, however, is visible only in the
- main page (the ultrasearch input field)
- the last tab (the admin tab)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.http://addressino.ayni.com/demo/index.english.php
2.for language select english if you don't like  german too much... and klick
"eintreten"
3. now you are in the application
4. click into the ultrasearch input field (right up)
5. you see the cursor blinking in the ultrasearch input field
6. klick e.g. the contacts tap.
7. klick one of the names apprearing.
8. click in any input field on the new page: NO BLINKING TEXT CURSOR apprears to
show you your position.
9 click the admin tab (i.e. the last tab at the right hand side)
10. click e.g. the "adjust standard mail* button appearing below.
11. click one of the files presented.
12. click into the apprearing input field: you will have the blinking text
cursor showing you your position.
13. repeat step 6...8 with any other tab, you will not see the text cursor
except in the admin tab. 

Actual Results:  
the blinking text cursor showing you your actual position in a text field is
visible only 
- in the main page (ultraseek field)
- in the last tab (admin tab)

Expected Results:  
show the blinking text cursor in all input fields of all tabs. 

I have veryfied that it is really only the last tab, where the text cursor is
shown by moving the contact tab to the place, where the admin tab is now. 
then, I had the blinking text cursor in all contact entry fields, but not in the
admin tab entry fields any more. 

this behaviour is persistent in the Linux version of firefox as well as the
windows version.
