Is the field open (i.e. you can type into it)? Because I tried this with the
field locked (the lockText is true) and it worked for me. If the field is
open, do you need to keep it open? If so, you'll need to overlay some object
in the "resizing" area that you want in order to be able to trap the mouse
doing down.
