Mobile Keyboard

[J. Landman Gay]

I got busy and couldn't get back to this for a while. But the proposed fix isn't really any 
different from the one I've used and others have suggested. You still have to send a message on 
preOpen-anything and then do something that deselects the field, whether it's unsetting/setting 
traversalOn, lockText, or focus.

If you have editable fields on several or all cards, then doing the workaround isn't enough on 
preopenstack. You have to include the kludge on every card.

I wish we had a field property that avoided the issue altogether.
