When I click on the 'work with' entry in teh "Install New Software" dialog, the content of the entry should be selected such that a paste will remove what was written there.

seems reasonable, the trick is not to do this if it's not already a known site name (ie, if the user did some typing and clicks back).  

But if it's a site we already know, or "All Available Sites," we should select it all.  There is already code that detects this case in addRepository()

I'm looking at this with the latest from head on WinXP, and I think the default behavior is fine.  The first time the combo gets focus (through tabbing or clicking with the mouse), everything is selected.  If you click with the mouse after that, or operate the cursor keys, then you are m

If you click off and click back on, everything is selected.

So the first time you enter the field, everything is selected.

This seems reasonable to me.  It's possible that the Mac is behaving differently?  At any rate, i wouldn't attempt to fix this if it's a platform difference, as I'll surely get it wrong...
