Problem with FocusIn

check the field locking.

from the docs:

If the control is an unlocked field or a button whose menuMode is 
"comboBox", the openField message is sent to it instead of the 
focusIn message.

A locked field receives the focusIn message when the user tabs to it 
or otherwise makes it active (focused), or when text in it is 
selected by a handler.
