Right now there is a mouse listener that takes the values from the section
static report item field and puts it into the model. Because of this, unless
you click the mouse outside of the section field or text field before dragging
another static report item onto the report, sometimes the text value will not
be in the model, and so when the view is re-rendered, the text will disappear. 
Usually this does not happen since for the most part the user clicks somewhere
before dragging over the next item.  But it is happening if the user has typed
in some text and not clicked on anything else yet.  The model gets out of sync
with the view, and text fields are not rendered correctly.  The work around
right now is to click anywhere in the report designer after you drop a panel,
or make changes to it, this ensures that the model is updated.
