Hi Stan,
I was bitten by this, too. I found that subclassing my listboxes,
with the menu handlers in the parent class, solved the problem
for me. I simply defined some Event Definitions that are
triggered by the class's menu handlers, and put the Edit menu
code into those on a listbox-by-listbox basis.
Of course, the listbox now has to have the focus for this to
work, but that works in the case of my apps.

EditCopy, EditPaste, EditCut ... this menu handlers is not fired
when Copy, Paste and Cut from EditField.
Is this something new? or is it just a new bug in R3?
It's something new. This was an event ordering problem that didn't
make sense. The order of events used to be:
1) Focused Control Menu Handler
2) Window Menu Handler
3) "Parent" window menu handler (in the case of floating windows,
this would be the next non-floating window)
4) App Menu handler
5) MenuItem Action event
6) Intrinsic focused-control menu handler (ie, built-in handler)
This means that if you defined EditCopy on your App class, it would
fire before invoking the default EditCopy behavior for the
EditField. This also produced unexpected results with floating
windows, such as copy/paste causing the EditCopy handler on the
document window behind it to fire rather than simply copying the
EditField's text.
The new order is (as documented in the release notes somewhere):
1) Focused Control Menu Handler
2) Intrinsic focused-control menu handler (ie, built-in handler)
3) Window Menu Handler
4) "Parent" window menu handler (in the case of floating windows,
this would be the next non-floating window)
5) App Menu handler
6) MenuItem Action event
So, to override the default copy behavior of an EditField, create
an EditField subclass with an EditCopy menu handler.
HTH,
Jon
Thanks for your reply!
Ok, in my case it gives me problems only with one EditField, so i
should try find something to fix that.
