Description

Steps to reproduce:
1.Compile and run the sample below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo" minWidth="1024" minHeight="768">
<s:layout>
<s:VerticalLayout/>
</s:layout>

<s:TextArea/>
<s:NumericStepper/>
</s:Application>

2. Click within the input or numeric stepper after they've already been focused.

Actual Results:

Notice that the focus ring disappears then redraws...it's a bit distracting...showing up in all the new Flex 4 reference apps. While clicking in the blank area of a text area or text input,the focus ring continually flickers.

Expected Results:

The focus ring should not flicker or flash, and should behave like halo text inputs or halo components. (Doesn't redraw unless absolutely necessary).

Workaround (if any):
