            Description

            When opening an ace:dialog that includes an input element, focus is set momentarily to the input and then it is lost to the underlying component. With the P01 release, this is only an issue when using the visible attribute to show/hide the dialog. Using the widgetVar to show/hide the dialog allows the focus to remain on the dialog input field.

            Note: In testing with the latest code base, it looks like the widgetVar technique is no longer working. Focus is lost to the underlying component.

            The main issue is that the ICEfaces managed focus is setting focus back to the component that opened the dialog. In the case of a dialog it would be better if it had focus instead of a component that can't be used due to a modal layer. Also if this could be configurable that would also be a nice feature to have.
