Description Howard Moskovitz CLA 2010-07-24 11:07:00 EDT 
Build Identifier: M20100211-1343

In the Layout Editor when I look at the properties sheet for an item and try to click on the ellipsis button on a field (e.g., the Text field) to select available choices, the value box for the field gets highlighted, obscuring the button. The button never seems to get activated. Clicking on the area a second time unobscures the button and leaves the field value normally selected. As a result I am forced to always  enter values into field in the property sheet manually.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.In Outline View, select an item that has editable properties (e.g., a button or field in the Layout Editor)
2. In the field value click on the ellipsis button to show available choices
3. Entire field gets overwritten with a blue selection "bar", obscuring button. Button click does not result in desired action.

Hadn't seen that one when I searched. I believe you are correct.
This is a dup of 308572.
