Cross-references activate "search from start" when placing a cross-reference

[Intuos5]

When I insert a cross-reference, right now, I have to first activate the text field to type the piece of text I want to reference.
For me it would be much more efficient if the cursor were already in the search field so I can start typing as soon as I use the tool.

This is probably a Windows-specific issue because the search field is active on macOS when the dialog opens.

@MikeTO The numbers of time you had to say this regarding cross-reference features is getting crazy. Windows users are missing out on so many things atm. This is one of those things where I start to wonder if I didn't report it, does anyone even test feature parity across platforms? 😌
