The winEmbed test app doesn't have the code in it to activate the browser
when the window gains focus which is why form fields don't work. To see the
correct behaviour try mfcEmbed. Bug 71014 contains that patch that enabled
focus setting in mfcEmbed:

Webclient will have to add similar code handle focus/activation issues.
