GenericDialog element focus

Hi list,

I already noticed some time ago, that the GenericDialog seemingly always
puts the initial input focus on th first "Numeric field", not on the "top
element" in the dialog. This happens
even if this input field is "disabled" via a DialogListener due to another
checkbox option. This causes some confusion for the user of my plugin.

What is the easiest way to change this or could this even be considered a
"bug"?

I put a simple example on

the initial focus after showDialog() is on the value "6.2832...", even if
it´s diabled, because the user has not selected "User value" in the Choices
above on an earlier run (saved in preferences)!

Thanks for any hint

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
