preselection of cell content only working for letters not for numbers

[dieterdreist]

When you add a tag to an object, the previous key and value are preselected. Example: the last tag you set on another object was layer=1 then if you add another tag to another object there will be "layer" in the key field and "1" in the value field, and "layer" is selected so you can overwrite it.

This works fairly well, but there is a problem in case the value is not a letter/word but a number (e.g. layer=1). In this case, the number does not get preselected when hitting "tab" to change the row (in the "add-tag" dialogue), so you cannot simply overwrite it.

I have rechecked this and actually it is working for numbers > 9 (i.e. more than one digit) and for negative numbers but it is not working for numbers from 0 to 9 (not only in layer but also in addr:housenumber).
