Text widget with default message needs a second click (IE) [message #532457]

Hi,

when I use a text widget with a default message, the text field does not
handle the focus correctly: The message disappears, but there's no cursor
and you also cannot type in any text. You have to click a second time upon
the text field to get the cursor.
This seems to be an IE (8) issue, since I it works on FF.

Sample snippet:
public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {
parent.setLayout(new RowLayout());
Text text = new Text(parent, SWT.BORDER);
text.setMessage("enter");
}

Should I file a bug?

Thanks,
Niels
