Hidden cursor in input fields

[jeffguinness]

I'm using Firefox on Windows and showing a modalPanel with input fields when the page loads results in an invisible cursor. Moving the modelPanel a couple of pixels by clicking the title bar and dragging causes the cursor to appear.

I have tried showing the modalPanel by using

showWhenRendered="true"

and by calling

Richfaces.showModalPanel('mp2');

when the page loads. The results are the same.

This seems to be the same problem as RF-2890 except this occurs this is on page load. http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/RF-2890?page=all

Another issue I have seen is that

left="auto"

does not work on page load, but works fine when showing the modalPanel at other times.

I am using RichFaces 3.2.0.SR1.

<rich:modalPanel id="mp2" autosized="true" left="auto" top="10" resizeable="false" zindex="2000" showWhenRendered="true">
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:outputText value="Modal Panel Title" />
 </f:facet>

 <h:panelGrid>
 <a4j:form id="productLineOptionForm" ajaxSubmit="true" oncomplete="Richfaces.hideModalPanel('mp2')">
 <h:panelGrid columns="2">
 <h:outputLabel>Name:</h:outputLabel><h:inputText id="test1"/>
 <h:outputLabel>Value:</h:outputLabel><h:inputText id="test2"/>
 </h:panelGrid>
 <h:commandButton id="close" value="Close" />
 </a4j:form>
 </h:panelGrid>
 </rich:modalPanel>

Have u tried to set the focus to your input field with

<rich:modalPanel ... onshow="document.getElementById('form:field_id').focus();" ...>

?
That works for me.

Giving any control the focus, either by

onshow="document.getElementById('form:test1').focus();"

or even by clicking into the inputText, does not result in the cursor appearing when the page containing the modalPanel is first loaded. The cursor works fine if I either move the modal by clicking on and dragging the title bar or after closing the modalPanel and then showing it again.
