[TRLog] very minor bug

I found a very minor bug using packet with TR Log. This is how to recreate it.

I am in S/P mode and I tune across a station that I want to spot. The
Packet Spot Edit parameter is on and I put the station's callsign (A51PN)
in the callsign window. I then hit the "`" key and the SPOT = window comes
up with the spot data in it.

Now for some reason, I decide that I don't want to spot the station and I
want to cancel the spot entirely. It take four hits of the ESC key to clear
it out and I lose the callsign window data in the process. Here is what you
see:

After spot setup	SPOT = DX 7005.8 A51PN # (# represents the cursor)
After first ESC		SPOT = #
After second ESC	SPOT =		(Cursor has moved to callsign field)
After third ESC		SPOT =		(Callsign field is cleared)
After fourth ESC			(Spot field is finally cleared)


I think the spot field should be cleared and removed with one ESC key and
the callsign field left intact. Is there some reason that it works this way?

73, Richard
