Bug Description

On the "Who are you?" panel of the New installer, tabbing from one textbox to another should select all text within that control, instead of going to the end of the text.

Focus should allow the user to replace text as a default (instead of accept text).

ScreenShot shows tabbing from the FullName TextBox, to the ComputerName TextBox... That action should have highlighted/Selected the predictive text within the TextBox that came into focus. So that the default would lead the user to either replace the text (selected, start typing to replace), or to right-arrow to unselect, or to tab to accept...

Instead it goes to the end of the text... Which would cause the user to have to manually edit the whole text if needed to replace. That causes more work on the part of the user.
