Hi Ian, Thanks for the suggestion. That would probably work. However, another lister has pointed out (and I have confirmed) that we have bigger problems on touch devices... drop-down character menus don't work either. The menu will drop down but you can't select a menu item by tapping it. The only workaround I have found for this is to press on the menu item until the "Copy" contextual menu appears and copy the menu item. Then you can paste it into the field. I expect my users would not find this to be acceptable.
Looks like the iPad really isn't compatible with Mid-tier. Hope this is helpful.
