Change active control in Edit Menu Bar dialog to Item name

Hello,

 

this is a minor issue but still it can be very inconvenient... Very inconvenient because it almost always happens to me that if editing a menu bar I inadvertently mess it up. This is because if one is inserting a new item or child item, after pressing the 'Insert Item' or 'Insert Child Item' button the active control is set to 'Constant name', see below.

But I am never editing the 'Constant name' but always the 'Item name' (and callback function, modifier key...). Hence I almost always start typing the item name until I realize that I was editing the wrong field.

 

So my suggestion is to consider changing the active control after one of the insert buttons has been pressed to 'Item name'.
