Does it change anything if you have an InputMask that is wider than the field?

This one may well be by design (or by omission?). Highlighting the entire

box would give the impression that it is possible to enter more characters

than are available in the field. I've had users complain that "the entry

box was chopping off the names", when the box is significantly wider than

the field.
