tabindex and cursor issue in Firefox

[Justin]

In firefox when text has a tabindex >= 0, the cursor over that text  
appears to default to a pointer instead of the text cursor (i-bar).

I had for my own testing purposes made a quick test page for this, but  
have now noticed that there is already a page in the scratchpad that  
demonstrates tabindex on text. I don't think it was intended to show  
this issue, but does so.

Here is the link to it in svn
https://source.fluidproject.org/svn/scratchpad/tabindex/trunk/BrowserTabindexDemo.html

Now the question is that the reorderer adds a tabindex to all of the  
reroderable elements, which causes the text within them to inherit the  
cursor styling of a pointer.

This can be seen in our uPortal mock-up example:
http://build.fluidproject.org/infusion/integration-demos/uportal/html/portal.html

Any thoughts on what would be a good, DOM-agnostic means to address  
this issue?

Thanks
