When clicking in a field to enter text (as in this text box), no visual indicator appears (i.e., blinking cursor) to let you know that you have accessed the field. In addition, when selecting text in the field, there is no indicator that you have selected text (not highlighted). The only way to know is to start typing or to try and cut the text or paste text. It is not intuitive at all.
