URL box is not focussed when "Open Network Stream" dialog box opens

Version: VLC Win32 1.1.5 Qt4

To reproduce:

  1. Open VLC

  2. Press CTRL-N

Expected Outcome: "Network URL" text-box gets focus and select-all so I can immediately type in/paste in the URL

Actual Outcome: Focus is granted to whatever control was in focus the last time the dialog box was shown - the OK button, the tab, whatever. If the text box happens to get focus, its contents are not selected so pasting doesn't work.

Also, there is no keyboard shortcut to directly focus the text box.
