User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1

Obviously, re-rendering of input fields that had previously been selected causes them to appear selected even though they should not be.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an HTML document with 2 or more text input fields
2. With JS, call select() on each input field
3. Change the display property of the first input fields' style properties.
   - Either, set display = 'block', or
   - set display = 'none', and after a timeout, display = 'inline'

Actual Results:  
The first and second input field's contents are selected

Expected Results:  
Only the second input field's contents are selected
