Hi,

Even with the 11.0.1447 we're still seeing the same behavior.

We found a hack that seems to get around the problem. If we remove the input tag dynamically using DOM scripting, set the focus to the contents, and then re-insert the input tag with DOM scripting, it behaves as expected.

This is very kludgy, to say the least, especially since we're handing over the pages to another firm for back-end integration. I'm afraid the solution will not survive the return trip.

Anyone familiar with this?

-Marco.
