When typing an account name in the register, if you make a mistake and then hit tab, it will ask if you want to make a new account. If you say "no", then what you have typed is lost and focus moves to the next field in the register. It seems better to me to keep the focus on the account field and give the user a chance to fix the typo or to delete the text entirely if they actually didn't intend to enter an account. I have prepared a fix for bug 343217 (which is exactly this issue) such that focus can remain on the account field, however I don't know how (or if it is even presently possible) to make the text automatically be selected.
Does anyone know how to programmatically select text in a register cell? If no one responds, then I'll just commit the change as is, and the text just won't be selected after the user picks "no".
