"New guide" Pop Up Regression - the text field isn't preselected anymore

Version 27.7.0 / WIndows

I oftentimes add many guides (by exact percentage) to my documents.
So I use the New guide pop-up.
It was always a quick and streamlined process as the number field was preselected, I just had to write in it and hit Enter. Now I have to manually click in (or Tab into) the number field to be able to write my numbers.
This is clearly a regression because of the new pop-up. So I consider it a bug.

I think the Canvas Size dialog box already had the same problem, so you could consider it a feature request there and in every other pop-up too: 
Always the first input field should be the active one, not the OK button which makes not much sense.
That could be pushed by hitting Enter no matter what part of the pop-up is active.

Thanks for looking into it!

    @David-DN until Adobe fix the issues with the modern UI, you can revert it back to the old dialog by disabling this option in the preferences,
