0021380: When the first focus field is a drop down list, the content of the field should be selected

Description

Openbravo's general UI rules imply that when you navigate to a field that contains a value (for example, you tab into it), the content of the field is selected.
This way, if you want to change the value, you just need to type; if you want to leave the value as is, you can simply tab out of the field and move on.

This does not work when the first focused field is a drop down list. In that case, the focus is correctly positioned in the field but instead of having its value pre-selected, it is at the end (after the last character). This means that to change the value, you first need to delete the current one and that takes a lot of clicks, making the operation of the software much slower and less agile.

Steps To Reproduce

1) Configure the Account Tree window so that the first focused field in the Element Values tab is "Element Level".
2) Navigate to that window
3) Create a new record in Form view - you will see that the cursor is placed at the end of the "Account" default value.
4) Try to change to "Subaccount".

Proposed Solution

The value of a field should always be pre-selected when the focus enter the field, in all situations.
