Bug Description

1) Open Edit footprint
2) Focus the "Position X" field (have to click due to https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1810569)
3) Press tab, now in "position Y"
4) Press tab again, now in the "orientation" radio box (this might be non-obvious due to https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1818999)
5) Press tab again, now in the "Other:" orientation field
6) Don't change it
7) Tab again, now in the "Board Side" field. However, the bug is that the orientation has also been changed on the loss of focus from the "Other:" field to be "Other/Custom".

This is annoying, as it is not expected for controls to be changed by tabbing though on the way to others.

It is a low-impact bug, as the custom orientation is kept up-to-date in the field, so it won't move the part.
