Bug Description

Issue: in Eeschema, Pcbnew, after editing properties of a module or component, the mouse is warped back to it's original location.

While it can be useful with Footprint editor to move around with keyboard and thus having the pointer warped back, it's extremely painful when using the mouse as my mouse-pad had a limited area.

Solution: perhaps only warp the pointer when the keyboard arrow have been used to enter the dialogue?
