Yes, stating that accessibility guidelines are beyond me is far from
condescending.

You're clearly showing how a control is focused if I tab/shift-tab to
and from controls.  When doing this in a form, it does what I expect,
select all the text in a field.  This isn't part of my initial
question, but whatever.  It's still a method of onfocus being
activated.

Ok, so now I simply click on a text field with my mouse and oh, look
at that, it doesn't select all the text!  Again, just what I expect it
to do.  Also another way of onfocus being activated, but the results
are different from the above.

Back to InPlaceEditor... I click on text ("mimicking" a click on a
form field) and I would expect the text to be unselected in this case
as well, which it is not.

I guess this expectation is beyond me still and wanting to override
the default behaviour to something more sensible is crazy talk.

If you're saying you're having to repeat yourself, then perhaps your
method of getting your point across needs some work.
