Select Next on first screen 3. proceed through each screen and enter requested data. Results: User is required to click in the text field to make it active and/or in-focus.

I think we could safely ship a beta1 without this.
No longer blocks: 12696
I'd be embarassed to ship this in a beta, but if it can't be done, it can't be done. This is basic expected functionality for a well-formed Windows app. This is also a subset of a large issue where focus is never set to the first field in a form on a Web page, &c.
Chris, sounds like there's another bug this can be dup'd against then. Do you know the number off-hand?
I just performed a search on Bugzilla and I can't find any kind of metabug for this behavior. I'm guessing it's just one of those really big ones that no one ever filed thinking someone else would eventually... or else the words 'focus', 'input', and/or 'form' do not appear in the bug's summary. I'm going to file that metabug now and see if anyone recognizes it as a duplicate.
D'oh! My bad. Focus should not be set in the first field on a Web page, etc. What I meant to say was this: Dialogs should always have the focus set to the first field in them when they are created. Other bugs exist in Bugzilla which are to do with similar problems: 10160, 10161, 11494, and possibly others. I remember filing bugs in this area last summer.
