Text fields when tabbed should have all text selected

Using Mozilla 0.9.2 under MacOS 9.1, FreeBSD 4.3, and Windows NT 4.
I've been accustomed to many GUI applications that exhibit the following
behavior when tabbing across text fields: when focus shifts to the new
field, all text within it is selected, making it much easier to copy/replace it.
The dialog boxes, most notably the Proxy settings do not have this
behavior and the same goes for web pages with forms. I do, however,
think it is incorrect for a text field to get all its text selected when it gets
focus from a mouse click, like how IE behaves under Windows and
MacOS for the URL bar. The current behavior of mouse clicks in the URL
bar in Mozilla is the correct one.
