Bug Description

Switching between apps (either other apps from kicad or external ones) will lose focus on the field being edited...

Reproduce:
1- Edit anything in a dialog(value on eeschema, pad on pcbnew, etc)
2- Switch to a different application, while the cursor is active in a field (for example the pad number).
3- Switch back to the previous dialog (in this example the pad number)
4- Cursor position is lost. You will have to select the same field again.

Running info:
Mac os x 10.11.5
BZR 6965

It would also make sense (at least to me) when the dialog opens the cursor is active on the first field...

This is an issue in wxWidgets. We'll get the fix when/if they fix it (and when/if they release another stable version that we can move to). So the "won't fix" just means we won't fix it in Kicad.
