User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; de; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5

I have a label containing two textareas, the first of which is invisible. When I click with the mouse in the second textarea, it loses focus as soon as I release the mouse. The reason for this seems to be that the click bubbles up to the enclosing label element which then tries to focus the first input element found (which is invisible).

I'll upload a testcase if I figure out how

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Click textarea in testcase
Actual Results:  
textarea loses focus as soon as the mouse is released

Expected Results:  
textarea has focus
