Ejaz Asghar commented on FLEX-33525:
------------------------------------

[~jmclean] This is not AIR issue, this issue is inside the "SkinnableTextBase.as" Flex Mobile Skin. Please check the answer with 8 votes. I myself used the following worked around to fix this issue. Now this work around is not 100% the solution, but it fixes ios misbehave issue at least.
skin.currentState = "";
invalidateSkinState();

[~ovisvana] I'm just a designer (with some development skills) so i'm not the right person to provide a patch. but i used mentioned worked around. Kindly take a look in the "SkinnableTextBase.as".

> When I select the textInput, the prompt disappears as expected but the first character is auto selected. When the second key is pressed, the first character is removed. This only happens when the first character is typed and the field has a prompt message.
