You have created an interesting infinite loop here. The command "select the 
text of me" will enter the field generating an openField message. Why this does 
not, as you say, happen with 5.5.1, I do not know, but it seems to me that it 
is working exactly as expected with 5.5.2. If I were a doctor and you were the 
patient, I would reply, "Well don't do that!" 

If this is the only way to accomplish what you are after then lock messages 
right after your answer dialog and unlock them at the end of the conditional 
testing.
