That is a "feature" of the Text Widget. The idea is that the user shouldn't
be able to insert anything until they choose a position to
insert it at. Once you click in the Text widget, things should
focus as expected. 

It should probably just put the cursor at position zero to begin
with though. You might also be noticing a slightly strange effect
where the focus in the Table is rememembered when you click
somewhere then tab back in. I'm not sure if that is a bug
or not.
