--- Comment #4 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
On Windows 10 Home 640bit en-US (1809) with
Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: a9885aed4ee65067613e5506771b6ae6b5e0bae0
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win;

Don't agree that selection should be made upon landing in the field--we don't
do that anywhere else in the UI.

Otherwise, cursor positions to start of field using <Tab>, or prior field with
<Shift><Tab>

Selection of the field text is then done with normal edit control with
<Shift>+<End>; and that slection (i.e. highlight) is only released with the
<Shift>+<Home>--not an <Esc> which closes the dialog.

If at the end of the field text, the opposite <Shift>+<Home> selects back to
the start of the field text; and then released with <Shift>+<End>.

IMHO this all is correct--I don't want the field selected (highlighted) on
landing in the field. I want to specifically select it or release the selection
and have control over the edit just like any other fielded data.

The <Esc> close is a little weird--but seems to behave consistently. Only other
issue is being able to move to the next field with selection/highlight still in
place. Not sure that is the right behavior.

But IHMO => WF the OPs issue.

@Jim, Caolán any opinion here?
