Alex, Georg, you saved my life. I had tried individually applying hasLayout to the field to no effect, and thought that since the text right next to it (in fact it was possible to click within the field but only on the left-most 1px) and the other inputs were completely mouse-interactive, it couldn't be the case of a higher or adjacent object's lack of hasLayout.

Very useful information.
