Description
Before version 4, when you inserted a new link (whether via Ctrl+Alt+A or with the button), the URL field would automatically gain focus, allowing you to quickly type in the URL you wanted and hit enter to add the link.
From version 4, nothing gets focus, so it's not possible to type in the URL without using the mouse to click into the URL field. This makes adding hyperlinks take much longer than necessary.
The same behaviour is exhibited in Visual mode, Distraction Free Writing Mode and Text mode, across three different installations with varying plugins and themes - including one near-stock installation.

Yes, it still happens with all plugins disabled and a default theme - just checked with a brand new installation of WordPress.

Chrome 38 64-bit and Firefox 23. The issue doesn't occur in Firefox 32, nor on Chrome 38 64-bit on a colleague's PC. Still an issue using Incognito mode (extensions disabled).

You're saying this is only an issue in incognito mode? Which browser? I still cannot reproduce.

Please notice the correct keyboard shortcut is Shift+Alt+A.

No, both 'normal' and incognito showed the same issue. In an old version of Firefox (23) and Chrome 38 64-bit.

Yup, my mistake; I was pressing the correct combination but mis-wrote it here.
In any case, no one else seems to have had this issue and it's gone away from me (as I moved to a new PC), so I'm setting this as 'worksforme'.
Could not reproduce, the focus is still there.
Does it still happen with all plugins disabled and a default theme (Twenty Fourteen or Twenty Thirteen) activated?
