I think you are thinking of TextInputs clipped by screen boundaries, but what about a TextInput clipped by the title bar of a Panel? When given focus, I think the StageText will obscure part of the titlebar and look bad.

I don't honestly know. I haven't worked with StageText myself. I guess we'll find out as Maurice and others attempt solutions. -Alex
