Hi all.

As many know, creating a custom menu set on OS X (not sure about Windows) will 
typically add the File and Edit menus to your customer menu set. This has the 
net effect of *disabling* cut/copy/paste/clear. I can live with that, because I 
have scripted the necessary menus to mimic the behaviors of those actions, but 
I am finding some quirks. 

First, if I cut or paste something in a field then tab out, closeField is not 
triggered. I assumed this was because the field was not getting 
selectionChanged, so I sent selectionChanged to the focusedObject after the 
cut/copy operations. Still, closeField does not get sent when I tab out of it. 
closeField DOES get sent if I simply edit the field then tab out. 

So what gets sent to the engine exactly that lets it know that the contents of 
a field have changed, so that tabbing out generates the proper closeField 
message? 

I suppose I could use textChanged to work around it, but frankly I would have 
to go through all my scripts which send a closeField to this object, and I’d 
rather not mess with what is already working.
