text-input-pane query

I need to create an input pane that has the following properties:

a. Accepts a single line of text not containing tabs or returns.

b. Can be made the current focus using tab.

c. Wraps the text if it is too long to fit in :external-min-width.

text-input-pane achieves (a) and (b), and multi-line-text-input-pane  
achieves (a) and (c), but I can't see how to get all three.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
David Johnson-Davies

It is hardly believable you are not able to tab into/out of
multi-line-text-input-pane. What LW version are you on?
