Doesn't this suggest I am doing something wrong with handling focus and 
selection? I am generating mouse and keyboard events. Apparently, clicking 
a text field gives it focus. I can see this in my EditorClient hooks and 
entering text *does* work when I just ignore isContentEditable(). I can 
also cycle through text fields with the tab key.

Note that I am not trying to "edit" the document in a fancy way. I am just 
trying allow the user to click text fields in ordinary websites, like for 
inputting user/password and start typing.

The question would be why keyboard events like tab and mouse events select 
the "wrong" node for the event (if that's indeed the case). Am I somehow 
supposed to redirect the event target in some part of the platform code? I 
can't see this happening anywhere in the Qt code I looked at.

Thanks very much for any further help!
