In Projects, we keep running into issues where people are messing up the Project ID because they go into another field before the page is fully loaded and start typing information in there. For example, the biggest issue is when the salesman goes in to update Project Terms to Net 30 or Net 60. They go to the dropdown and start typing Net 60 before the page fully loads and then after it finishes loading, the cursor jumps back to the Project ID field and they keep typing... see the screenshot for an example.

09/13/2019, 12:02 PMthe problem is that there is javascript running a :focus that happens in the footer, rather than the header, so if it's a large record and takes a minute to load, it doesn't trigger early enough
