Interestingly, Message Watcher doesn't even see the mouseDown when I click in the text field. It sees it when I click my list field, though! Very strange. The only thing that shows up when I click the text field is some cryptic thing called cREVGeneral.

I don't think it's a mesage passing issue, because a list field in the same stack works just fine with focusIn/focusOut. It's just this text field. I was hoping someone would say that text fields handle focus differently, but I guess not.
