The GWT TextBox isn't much more than a very thin veneer around an HTML <input type="text"> element. It's one of the most commonly used GWT Widgets; you should start with the assumption that it works fine in all standard browsers.
You can open this page in Chrome to see a sample GWT TextBox: http://gwt.googleusercontent.com/samples/Showcase/Showcase.html#!CwBasicText You didn't post any code, and your description is a bit vague, so what exactly does your code look like and what are you seeing? And what is it about your code that gives you different behaviour for your TextBox Widgets in Chrome versus some other browser? Chrome and Safari shared the same underlying rendering engine until recently, and Blink hasn't diverged significantly from WebKit, I'd be very surprised if you see different behaviour between Chrome and Safari.
