Suggested patch

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Probably you are not interesteed in supporting Safari Mobile on IOS for the 
goog editor but here a small patch that makes work the focus function:

before: goog.editor.Field:focus
goog.editor.Field.prototype.focus = function() {
  if (!goog.editor.BrowserFeature.HAS_CONTENT_EDITABLE &&
      this.usesIframe()) {
    // In designMode, only the window itself can be focused; not the element.
    this.getEditableDomHelper().getWindow().focus();
  } else {
    if (goog.userAgent.OPERA) {
      // Opera will scroll to the bottom of the focused document, even
      // if it is contained in an iframe that is scrolled to the top and
      // the bottom flows past the end of it. To prevent this,
      // save the scroll position of the document containing the editor
      // iframe, then restore it after the focus.
      var scrollX = this.appWindow_.pageXOffset;
      var scrollY = this.appWindow_.pageYOffset;
    }
    this.getElement().focus();
    if (goog.userAgent.OPERA) {
      this.appWindow_.scrollTo(
          /** @type {number} */ (scrollX), /** @type {number} */ (scrollY));
    }
  }
};

after:

goog.editor.Field.prototype.focus = function() {
  if (!goog.editor.BrowserFeature.HAS_CONTENT_EDITABLE &&
      this.usesIframe()) {
    // In designMode, only the window itself can be focused; not the element.
    this.getEditableDomHelper().getWindow().focus();
  } else {
    if (goog.userAgent.OPERA) {
      // Opera will scroll to the bottom of the focused document, even
      // if it is contained in an iframe that is scrolled to the top and
      // the bottom flows past the end of it. To prevent this,
      // save the scroll position of the document containing the editor
      // iframe, then restore it after the focus.
      var scrollX = this.appWindow_.pageXOffset;
      var scrollY = this.appWindow_.pageYOffset;
    }
    this.getEditableDomHelper().getWindow().focus();//patch
    this.getElement().focus();
    if (goog.userAgent.OPERA) {
      this.appWindow_.scrollTo(
          /** @type {number} */ (scrollX), /** @type {number} */ (scrollY));
    }
  }
};
