Hi 'flavenstein', you have asked these questions already, your posting is a repetition of the posting there ...
"Auto scroll" and text selection
Ad 1.
I've never noticed such a thing,
Ad 2.
Clicking into an edit box is the user's intent to change something there or the first step to get the whole content into the clipboard, therefore the content is already selected.
For me it looks like standard behaviour of edit boxes in a standard windows operating system.
You can find the same behaviour in the properties sheet in the foobar2000 application too.
While developing there might be the possibility for the programmer to set a Bit, which can change the behaviour of an edit box, for example auto selection on or off, for example when the edit box is in edit status, so to place the cursor in front of the selected text.
Because the current behaviour of the edit box seems to be a good practice for nearly all cases, I would not want to change it.
I would like to have the option, in the Tag Panel dialog window, to adjust an edit box in its width to see more of longer text content at a glance.
