Allow cursor focus mode in all text fields

There is a great focus mode in Sailfish, where the text zooms in if you swipe a bit to the side, allowing you to position the cursor easily and exactly. Unfortunately, it is only used in some of the text fields, but not all. In particular it is not used in the browser, making it very hard to position the cursor in the browser text fields. Please implement this for all text-fields!
