            {
                ti.setFocus();  
                ti.selectRange(pos,pos);            
            }

        ]]>
    </fx:Script>

    <s:layout>
        <s:VerticalLayout />
    </s:layout>

    <s:TextInput id="ti" text="abces"  selectionChange="textinput1_selectionChangeHandler(event)"/>

    <s:Label  text="{'lastCursorPos ' + pos}"/>

    <s:Button label="Set pos 1" click="button1_clickHandler(1)" />
    <s:Button label="Set pos 5" click="button1_clickHandler(5)" />
</s:Application>

you can test the problem at http://pol2095.free.fr/TextInput_selectRange/
I add a Spark RichEditableText, it work, it's a Spark TextInput bug.

The same code work correctly with flex 4.6.

Thanks.
