Hi Scott,

Your experience is consistent with mine. So when my code makes selection change, it sends "selectionChanged" to the target field right after doing so.

triggered by selecting the contents of a field via script?

I have recently begun to struggle again with a simple text editor project
and it seems when the contents of a field are selected via script (select
text of fld 1), no selectionChanged message is sent.

I have a frontScript with a selectionChanged routine that is supposed to
track any changes in text selection.  It works as expected when selections
are changed via mouse, click, and drag, but when text is selected by script
using the above "select text of fld 1" nothing happens.

Admittedly, this is Rev 4.0, but is this correct behavior?  I could use a
klunky workaround of a looping script that constantly polls the selectedText
but this is, er, klunky.  Might there be another way?

Thanks for any suggestions/clarifications.
