Title Change Lists in dialogs to use the Windows 7 positioning
Category General
Description Make 'type ahead' work on facts tab so that typing RES will bring up residense not the first fact found sequentially by R then E then S

This would make it consistant with functions such as Record Flag which do allow Type Ahead.

----

In windows 7 Microsoft changed the way lists, such as explorer windows work, so that typing RES will position you to the first file starting res,
rather than in earlier versions positioning to the letter typed each time a letter is pressed.

I often want to add Residence as a fact and expecting a type ahead function (as occurs with Flag selection) I keep on typing RES to get to it.
This invariably gives me the Fact Tab 'Education' (I have no 'S' facts).
To get Residence my route has to be Properties window, facts tab, add fact, R (shows me Religion) and then arrow down one to get Residence.

Nothing monumental but inconsistent
