Change Tracked Changes dialog to 1) not jump to next tracked change on Accept/Reject; and 2) make the default to highlight a tracked change selected with the dialog

Currently, the Arbortext 6 Change Tracking dialog (accept/reject tracked changes):

1) Immediately jumps to the next tracked change when a user accepts or rejects one. This behavior is disconcerting because the next tracked change can be screens away and one cannot see the results of the acceptance in context. That cursor and screen should remain at the end of the accepted/rejected change and the further changes be selected by pressing >>Next or <<Previous buttons.

2) The default is to not highlight tracked changes selected with the dialog (default can be changed in the Advanced... options). Because the cursor remains a small grey arrow for inlines and is *very difficult to find* in the default mode, the default behavior should be reversed.

(BTW, I don't see any Advanced Preference setting, but I do see the property in the Arbortext.wcf:

<Property>
<Name>com.ptc.arbortext.changetracking.highlightchange</Name>
<Value><String>1</String></Value>
</Property>

I hesitate to change this programmatically without more research.)
