I offered a possible explanation for what might have happened, made
under the assumption that you correctly identified this as a recent
change in behavior. The validity of the explanation and the
desirability of its implications are separate issues. Please don't
jump down my throat simply because you don't like the consequences
posed by a theory I posited in good faith.

_This_ would be the reason that my explanation is invalid.

I agree that I would not expect -commitEditing to lose focus. I
_would_ expect it to select all the text in the text field, as if the
user had pressed the Return key.
