iPad field entry behavior-selects all

I designed a a FM12 solution that has two fields.  The first is a "pull-down" menu that looks up a value list.

The second is a repeating field that based on which item you select from above will generate a pull down list of values to select.

For some reason, just on the iPad (not the desktop version), when it enters the second field it "selects all" of the contents and allows you to cut/copy/paste.  This occurs whenever you re-enter the field.

It's just a bit annoying seeing the text get highlighted each time and takes another "point with the finger" to deselect it.

Any cures to this?
