It sounds like the field's Maximum Length is much greater than the display width, so the user is actually typing new characters after the original text. When you leave the field, you see the beginning of the field. I am not sure if this is it, but when your cursor is in the field, use the keyboard left and right arrow keys to move left and right in the field to see if this is the problem.
