Lost input focus after rerendering parent form
----------------------------------------------

                 Key: RF-3632
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/RF-3632
             Project: RichFaces
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.2.1
         Environment: RF 3.2.1.CR3
IE 6
Firefox 2.0.0.11
Java 1.5.0_15
jetty-6.1.9
WinXP SP2
            Reporter: Benno Markiewicz


A control within a parent form looses its focus when the parent form is rerendered. The rerendering was forced by an event fired from the child control. See the source (based on http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/support.jsf?c=support)

    <h:form id="myform">
        <h:panelGrid columns="2">
            <h:inputText id="myinput" value="#{userBean.name}">
                <a4j:support event="onkeyup" reRender="myform" />
            </h:inputText>
            <h:outputText id="outtext" value="#{userBean.name}" />
        </h:panelGrid>
    </h:form>

Notice the difference. Instead of  "outtext" "myform" will be rerendered.

Background: You have a detail form with several components. Every control on the form changes the internal state. The view represents the actual state, so the whole form has to be rerendered. But when you rerender the parent form, the focus/selection state of the actual component is lost.
