TextInputSkin - strange behaviour inside ItemRenderer

Question

I have the following problem using two TextInput fields inside an ItemRenderer.

<s:temRenderer>
    <s:HGroup id="listEntry" height="100%" width="100%" verticalAlign="middle">
        <s:TextInput id="damageArea" width="100%" click="this.textFieldClicked(event)" 
                     skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.TextInputSkin"/>
        <s:TextInput id="damageType" width="100%" click="this.textFieldClicked(event)" 
                     skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.TextInputSkin"/>
    </s:HGroup>
</s:itemRenderer>

The function textFieldClicked(event:Event) stops the propagation of the event, so the focus remains on the InputText.

My problem is that without TextInputSkin there are some rendering problems with the text inside the InputText when the soft keyboard pops up - it just disappears, or is placed somewhere else on the display.

With TextInputSkin everything is fine, but I can only select the first two characters. On doubletap it selects the entire Text, then the soft keyboard pops up and the selection changes to the first two characters. I tried to call the function selectAll() afterwards, but this one also only selects the first two characters of the text.

I am using the ItemRenderer for a List. Outside of the List this problem does not appear.

Is there any solution for this one?
