yes, those interested can review the thread from 10/2000 starting here:

It might be "intended", but I'm not sure about "correct". It
certainly
fails the "least surprise" test, at least in my opinion.
Let's say I'm changing the foreground color of a face. I type in the name,
hit Set, and then want to try a different color. I can't just hit
backspace and start editing - I have to click (or move out of the frame and
back in) to regain focus before typing.
That just ain't right.
