Huh? Why not! Seems like correct behavior to me.

Then how come it hasn't been in the product all along ??

Users don't always want top edit a field when they open up
an object dialog ???

It was always the intended behavior and has been that way for a couple of 
weeks, although focus problems often broke it. If the don't want to edit
the first field, they just click somewhere else or in that field to set focus
(caret) if they don't want to replace entire value. Fairly typical dialog 
behavior, at least on Windows. At least we don't select the entire edit field
*ever* time you click in it, which is typical Window behior that is aweful!

OK...the reason I filed it as a bug is because this behavior was never
in the product and all of a sudden I saw it.
