linux: opening breakpoint editor selects a short blank string #10480

this clobbers the clipboard on linux and interferes with pasting a breakpoint time

I've asked on the mailinglist but there was no (helpful) answer. This problem must likely be fixed on the fox-toolkit side (possibly by inheriting from a widget and re-implementing some of the faulty functionality)

can we just focus something else before showing the dialog?

The 'selection' is enabled deep within the fox-native FXTable::startInput method. There is no good way to avoid calling this. I even tried backing up and then restoring the current selection but to no avail.
