Maintain the position of the cursor in the text field when switching windows

When a text field is edited in a dialog (e.g. path for copying files) and the focus is switched to a different window, and back to TC, the whole text gets selected which discards the position of the cursor.

It would be helpful if the cursor would maintain the original position so it would be possible to copy and paste some text into the dialog from a different window.

Support++ - as an option.

Not only should the cursor position be maintained, but the text should not get reselected either.

Christian Ghisler explained in the other thread that the behavior is caused by Windows. That means it can't be changed, unfortunately.
