I added a mouseevent handlers to teh stage and this is what I see when I click on a textarea:
The MouseEvent's currentTarget is the application root. The target is a VBox. I'm not really sure where this VBox is comming from. Is it something automation adds in there? The TextArea is inside a FormItem, Form, CustomCanvas, CustomPanel, Canvas, Canvas, Application.
