[LinuxCNC/linuxcnc Issue#28] Axis GUI MDI history problem on Debian Jessie

This problem happens on Debian Jessie with the Axis GUI, master and 2.7.

Hit up-arrow to select a command from the MDI history and it populates the MDI-command text-input field with that command, but then you can’t use right-arrow or left-arrow to move around the command string to edit it.

If you click in the text-input field you can edit the command like normal.

On Lucid with 2.7 it works as expected: up-arrow/down-arrow select a line from history, then left-arrow/right-arrow let you edit that command.

On Wheezy with master it behaves the same correct way as on lucid/2.7.

So it looks like some kind of jessie/tcl/tk/focus/hocus/pocus.
