I have several Numeric Entry Field components in Direct Mode which work fine when the user clicks in them, but does not enter edit mode when tabbed to. It will highlight/select the numeric text, but there is no cursor in the edit box.

Using: Version: **8.0.2 (b2019060511)**

I’m no longer encountering this as of 8.0.4. We have recently changed the DOM structure of some of the input components, which probably resolved this issue.
