I've noticed that when you blink another indicator the focus is stolen from the typing area. This occurs in 2014 but not 2012. Here's the example:
FYI, I had to use call chain and indexing out controls because I couldn't get snippets to work with front panel references. The string should have keyfocus and allow you to type and the bool should be blinking

Use the Code Capture Tool. It doesn't break references.
