John- My apologies - I forgot about the weirdness of menus on osx. My earlier response was based on linux, which has a much more reasonable approach to UI interaction.
So here's what I see happening on osx: 1. click in the substack field 2. click on a menu item This actually moves the focus to the main stack because the menubar is part of the mainstack. You can see this if you examine the stack in the Application Browser or Project Browser. But buttons (and menus by extension) can't receive the focus, so the focus ends up being on the currrent card. That's the first line you see. But *now that you have put text into the result field*, it now becomes the focused object, and the second time you try to access the focused object you will be referring to th field. The second line reflects that fact. -- Mark Wieder [email protected] _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
