UI bug: some inputs appear as highlighted

It's an old UI problem: some input fields appear as highlighted - blue background under the text, meaning that the text in the input is selected.

It's rather annoying and confusing when controls appear as focused, especially multiple controls... Of course, typing has no effect. Clicking the control removes the selection of the input, yet all the text must be selected again (Ctrl+A) to achieve the actual select-all highlight.

Examples:

- The outline width input on the toolbar gets highlighted when an object is selected.

- The font name and font size inputs both became highlighted when working with text.

- The DPI input is automatically highlighted when exporting a bitmap - however, starting to type opens the "Speed" dropdown in the dialog.

Notes:

- This UI bug is really annoying when the keyboard is extensively used. Noobs tend to click everywhere, but pros will use the keyboard extensively.

- I'm teaching Corel DRAW to others. I always see, people struggle with the false-highlight. They start to type, or they click randomly when the apparent selection isn't works as expected.

- This bug is present since many versions. It's unbelievable there is no UI/UX designer at Corel who noticed this before releasing the product...
