Hi Mat, changes to a tiddler trigger the refresh mechanism - and if the tiddler is displayed then it will be re-rendered, which destroy the underlying text box in you case and then recreates it - and thus loses focus. If you add a field called 'throttle.refresh' to your tiddler it will make things a bit better, but there is no solution (outside of modify the core).
