I have encountered similar situations. Where I have chosen to have Select on Entry, I tell my client that if he/she enters via Tab key or Enter key, he is entering the "box" by the front door, and the cursor is at the left most position. If he/she enters the box with a mouse click (and clicks in the middle of the box), he/she is entering through a window at a position of HIS/HER choosing and he must accept the consequences.
