inactive field after setting htmlText

[Keith Martin]

First of all, I apologise for asking a question which relates to Rev 
1.1.1. I'm writing a tutorial and for certain reasons it has to work 
in that version. (Although I will of course be suggesting version 2.x 
at the appropriate moments!)

Right, I've set the htmlText of a field to the contents of a 
variable, originally read from a file from disk.

When this is done the field acts partially disabled. The scroll 
button, borders and even text shows as grey/disabled, although I can 
force scrolling to happen by clicking and drag-selecting far enough.

This state only changes when I switch to the Pointer tool and resize 
or nudge the field.

I don't get this behaviour if I set the text of the field, only if I 
set the htmlText of the field.

Any ideas? Is there a solution? What's the cleanest workaround that I 
could use for a tutorial? Is there a neat way to side-step this 
problem entirely?
