Looks like this patch broke facebook.com on iOS.

When the user taps on the status on facebook.com, the page focuses an textarea, which is then made momentarily visible by setting display:none.  The page then removes display:none later and expects the textarea to be still focused.

With this patch, the focus is removed after the page sets display:none and the keyboard disappears.  Since the focus is never reset on the textarea, the user can never type in anything.

The specification may need to change here given that this (rather odd) behavior/expectation exists on one of the most popular websites on the Web.
