It's hard to say without seeing or having the contents of the field.
How about, at the top of the mouseDown handler, you have an alert that
shows the contents of the field, and maybe another one giving the line
count. Then you can see what is really in the field. Or just put a
breakpoint on the line and look at the actual castmember at that time.
If it only has one line, then you of course have a problem. How it got to
only be one line is hard to say without having seen the rest of your program.
