Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Click on an editable DateField's calendar button when the DateField doesn't currently have focus.
2. Observe the text in the DateField's textinput area.

Actual Results:
The text is automatically highlighted and scrolled to the left such that the beginning part of the date text isn't visible.

Expected Results:
The text should not be highlighted or scrolled at all.

Workaround (if any):
Click in the textinput area before pressing the button.

Sample app:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical">
<mx:DateField editable="true"/>
</mx:Application>

I see this on Flex SDK 3.2, 3.4 and 4.0.
