I'm using a TextField in a Perspective 8.1.33 view.  
If the user enters data into the text field that starts with the number "1", it is always ignored until they type it a 2nd time.  
No other digit or alpha character behaves this way just "1"  
I've messed with `deferUpdates` and `rejectUpdatesWhileFocused` but they don't make a difference.

Do you have any scripts on the component? I do not have this problem when I tested it.

No scripts and no bindings.  
It's consistent on all TextFields  
I just tested on another server running 8.1.39 and it's not a problem.  
Time to update!
