Because all text fields behave that way; try it in any app on your  
system.  If you select a text field in such a way that you aren't  
placing the cursor (e.g., tabbing or clicking on the control but  
outside the editor area) you focus the text field, which causes its  
contents to be selected.  Clicking in the editor area does the same,  
but then inserts the cursor (which undoes the selection).

However, it's much more likely that the different behaviors people  
are seeing is based on whether they are running 1.0 or nightlies,  
since clicking the edge of text fields isn't very common.
