I have also been stung by this. I think that behavior is simply the
nature of the EditField in RB with Mac OS X. It's interesting that
this is not the case on Windows as far as I've observed (text remains
selected through the life of the ConstructContextualMenu function). I
don't know if that implies a bug, but it would be nice if it were
consistent cross-platform. At least there is a workaround for this as
you've discovered.

I am using constructContextualMenu in an edit field to display some
of the standard edit menu items. The code is
base.Append( EditCut )
base.Append( EditCopy )
base.Append( EditPaste )
base.append(UntitledMenu1)
base.Append(EditSelectAll)
When I right click on the edit field the menu displays and I can
"paste" and "select all" but when I select any text and then right
click the highlight is removed from the text and I am unable to use
the copy or cut menu items.
If I use the isContextualClick method in the mouse down event
If IsContextualClick Then
Dim m as MenuItem
m=EditMenu.Popup
return true
End if
then everything works fine.
