What's Wrong?

When a dialog box with tabs opens, the cursor remains at the bottom of the screen. This is the continuation of #36765 and #39900.

What Should Happen?

The native cursor of the terminal should be put on the title of the selected tab. For instance, in the help dialog box the cursor should be on the g of general.
