InputText Focus - Safari & Firefox only

On this page there is a login form at the bottom left.

  1. Type some text in the username field.

  2. Drag-Select this text (from right to left) so that it is highlighted - but DO NOT release the mouse over the swf - keep dragging off of the swf (to the left of the text field).

  3. Now move your mouse across the swf and back out to the left again…and you will see that the swf thinks you have never released the mouse.

It seems obvious that a swf running in Firefox or Safari is not detecting “onRelease” events outside of the swf (while IE Does this just fine).

My only thought is to capture onRelease events from js and pass into the swf…but jeez - what a pain for something so simple…for something that should just work.

Has anyone else come across this maddening behavior?
Any thoughts on a resolution?

I have seen that before, but they must of fixed it in firefox 3.0 because thats what I am using now and its not doing it. Honestly, I dont think its that big of a deal to worry about.
