Patch to select the name of new style when new style dialog is opened none

Description anthonymerhi 2003-08-10 17:48:21 UTC 
Currently, when the user creates a new style (e.g., by right-clicking in the
Stylist and choosing 'New'), a style dialogue opens with the cursor at the start
of the Name field, which contains the default name "Untitled" and which is
unselected for editing.  In almost all cases, the user must delete this name
completely to enter her own style-name, which requires extra needless keystrokes
either to delete the default character-by-character or by selecting it first
then deleting it in one action.

Business requirement: The user should be able to begin entering the new
style-name as soon as the dialogue appears, without having to take extra steps
before entering the new name.

Proposal: When the style dialogue appears, pre-select the characters of the
default style-name so that the first key that the user types for the new name
will automatically delete the default name without extra keystrokes.

This activity entry is my response to the request for feedback which was made in
the Grand Bug Squash, pre v3 e-mail.

As requested, I have downloaded and installed OO Beta 3.0.0 on GNU Debian, and
have observed the following:

- The capability requested in this issue is still not implemented. I believe
that this requirement is still valid for the same reason given in the original
request.

Patch to select the name of new style when new style dialog is opened

After the initialization of the style dialog, it will be reset.
In the Reset method, the text of the name field is set again and loose 
the selection that selected in the initialization. 
To select the whole name inside the Reset method could be the way to fix this problem.
