I got busy and couldn't get back to this for a while. But the proposed fix isn't really any
different from the one I've used and others have suggested. You still have to send a message on
preOpen-anything and then do something that deselects the field, whether it's unsetting/setting
traversalOn, lockText, or focus.
If you have editable fields on several or all cards, then doing the workaround isn't enough on
preopenstack. You have to include the kludge on every card.
I wish we had a field property that avoided the issue altogether.

By the way, this has worked for me, tested on iOS:
on preopenstack
do_stuff
send "hideMobileKeyword" to me in 100 millisec
end preopenstack
on hideMobileKeyword
focus on nothing
end hideMobileKeyword
Kind regards,
Panos

Ralph,
I had this same issue on a project. The problem is when the card/stack
opens, LiveCode want to activate the first typable field it finds. If my
old memory is correct, what I did was this:
on preOpenCard
set the lockText of fld "thisDarnField" to true
end preOpenCard
on openCard
send "doUnlockTheField" to this card in 1 tick //don't send this
until everything is done loading (you could probably send this in the
preOpenCard too)
end openCard
on doUnlockTheField
set the lockText of fld "thisDarnField" to false
end doUnlockTheField
Hope that helps and I hope it works! I hope my cobweb-ridden brain
remembers this correctly!
-Dan
