Within in a PromptSet in the Automic Web Interface (AWI) version 12, if the Variable field for a Text field is edited the cursor can jumpt to the end of the text string and cause strange results while the Variable Name is being modified.

Investigation

1) Create a PromptSet
2) Create a Text Field within this PromptSet. The field "Variable Name" is filled with "&TEXT1#"
3) Place the curser (using the mouse) after "TEXT1" (before the "'#"). The Field now looks like: "&TEXT1|#"
4) Start deleting "TEXT1"
5) Start slowly typing something new, like "MYVARIABLENAME"

Expected:
The field should be filled with "&MYVARIABLENAME#"

Actual:
The cursor jumps to the end of the string while typing the new string and what happens is something like this "&MYVA#RIABLENAME".
