validationMessages test does not run

[Katie Vance]

The test /dijit/tests/form/robot/validationMessages does not run because textbox.focusNode.scrollIntoView() is called at the wrong time. It is called on each textbox once before any tests are run. That leaves the very last textbox scrolled into view when the tests start to run. Therefore, when the first test runs, it's texbox is actually not in view. The robot then clicks the title of the browser window instead of the first text box.

The failure can also be seen in Opera.

Attaching the patch.

Move textbox scrollIntoView inside the testSetup method

Aha. I'm seeing the same problem on IE8, so it's not limited to FF4 and opera. It might depend on something random like screen size or font setting. I had sent Mark mail thinking it was a robot problem (and maybe there is a robot problem too), but glad you tracked down the main issue and that there's a simple fix.

I'll check in.

(In [23171]) Fix from Katie to call textbox.focusNode.scrollIntoView() at the right time. Seems though like this test would be more stable if it just called focus() for each textbox, rather than calling mouseMove() and mouseClick(). Fixes #11932.
