"Ctrl-a" (Select All) in a Find Dialogue text entry box should select text there only, not in the editor source

On RDi 9.6.0.4, with the Find Dialogue open in an active editor, with the cursor positioned in either
the "Find" or "Replace" text box, pressing Ctrl-a to Select All should select only the text in that box.
Currently, this keyboard shortcut selects all text in the source editor in addition to all text in the text box.


Use Case:

1. Open an editor.
2. Enter search text in the "Find" text box, and replacement text in the "Replace" text box.
3. Click "Next" (or press "Alt-n") to find a couple occurrences of the search text.
4. Press "Alt-p" to position the cursor in the "Replace" text box.
5. Press "Ctrl-a" to select all text in the Replace text box.
6. All the text in the editor, as well as all the text in the Replace text box, is selected.

    We have reviewed this requirement and we feel it would be a beneficial enhancement to the product. We hope to be able to add it to our development plans in the future.

    This really seems like "Is A Defect".

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.

    Voted. I think this is more like a request for a bugfix than for an enhancement.
