** [bugs:#1219] number and symbol atom properties dialog width text field not selected**
**Status:** open **Group:** v0.46 **Created:** Tue Nov 03, 2015 06:51 PM UTC by danomatika **Last Updated:** Tue Nov 03, 2015 06:51 PM UTC **Owner:** nobody
The properties dialog box for number and symbol atoms does not select all the text in the "Width:" text field. This means the backspace key does not work after immediately opening the dialog. The IEM guis (bang, toggle, etc) *do* select all text in this field, so opening the dialog and hitting backspace clears the width text.
My workflow whne changing atom char widths is to right cikcon on properties and then either hit backspace or just start typing the new width. Becasue the text field text is not selected, this no longer works with the backspace being ignored even though the cursor is at the end of the current text or, worse yet, the new text width numbers being **appended** to the existing text yielding an impossibly large atom :P Again, IEM guis do not suffer this problem.
