[FLEX-28149] Cannot select text in loaded swf if the component that contains it implements IFocusManagerComponent (eg: mx:TabNavigator)

Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Compile the attached Flash Builder project: FocusManagerComponentBugFlexFour.mxml and Labels.mxml
2. Select text in the mx:TabNavigator or the subclass of the ViewStack that impelements IFocusManagerComponent

Actual Results:
Can't select the text

Expected Results:
Can select the text

Workaround (if any):
For TabNavigator - you can subclass view stack and re-implement the behaviour and remove 'implements IFocusManagerComponent'.

Notes:
I've seen this bug: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-30631 - looks similar but I'm using the same SDK for both elements. I've also tried adding MarshallingSupport.
