Thank you so much, Eric. I'm building this as a community interface, so even cosmetic issues don't look good to management. Since the wonkiness broke the focus anyways, changing the "text" worked like a charm. As a side note, this appears to be the case under any version of IE from 9 up. I just didn't have anything but IE9 to test on until I got home (and tried it tonight on IE11).
