Description:
The keyboard shortcut for Select All (Ctrl-A) does not work in the WorkBench value editor (right click on a cell, click "open value in editor").  Specifically this is for the text tab of the value editor.  I frequently will use this shortcut to select all text and copy it.  Currently I have to use the mouse context menu to access the select all option, which is really annoying.  I beleive that Ctrl-A is a Windows standard functionality in text boxes.

How to repeat:
Try to select all text using Ctrl-A

Suggested fix:
Implement Ctrl-A to select all text

Fixed as of 5.2.39, with the following changelog entry:

The Control + a key combination would not select all of the text within a window.
