Looking for a better workaround to Chrome select on focus bug

Question

I have the same problem as the user in this question, which is due to this bug in Webkit. However, the workaround provided will not work for my app. Let me re-state the prob

Answer 1

Why not simply:

$('#out').focus(function(){
    $(this).one('mouseup', function() {
        $(this).select();
    });
});

Seems to work in all major browsers...
