Answer 1

I found the answer once I narrowed down the actual issue was that I was loading the TinyMCE into a jquery.colorbox popup. Colorbox prevents any type of focus event/action to happen outside of its defined container. Where as TinyMCE pops its stuff up through iframes, not actually in the colorbox container.

the fix was simple: in colorbox options set trapFocus: false and all works as it should. Understand tho, this means the user can tab out of the focused colorbox to elements behind the overlay.
