Problem: The problem is a result of a RichTextArea being embedded in a TabPanel.
To Reproduce: In IE8, add a RichTextArea to a TabPanel. Navigate to the Tab containing a RichTextArea. Leave the Tab without "Focusing" on the RichTextArea. The entire app enters a state where TextBoxes, TextAreas, and RichTextAreas cannot get focus. Solution: Set Focus on the RichTextArea when the TabPanel is opened. If the RichTextArea is in the first tab, then a Timer that sets Focus after some short delay will generate the focus event. Focusing on the RichTextArea enables the application to remain in a working state.
