Bob, Cut, copy, paste & clear are available as commands in LC, so maybe simplifying your Edit menu a little may help, for example…
--The following menuPick handler was generated by the Menu Builder (& simplified a little). on menuPick pWhich switch pWhich case "Preferences" --Insert script for Preferences menu item here break default do pWhich end switch end menuPick …It works for what you are describing as far as I can see, although it's not perfect. Tested in LC 5.5.5 + 6.6.2 & 7.0(rc1) on Mac OS X 10.9.3 Cutting, or pasting within a field then tabbing out does trigger a closeField message, but "Copy" doesn't, possibly because the field didn't change even though the field still closed on tab, it does trigger an exitField. However, "Clear" doesn't trigger a closeField message for some odd reason, but it does trigger an exitField, that seems a little inconsistent to me, because the contents of the field did change before exiting in much the same way that "cut" changes the field, I realise the "Cleared" text doesn't go onto the clipboard, but the effect on the field is the same. So as far as I can see, "Clear" is the only case you would need to add a script for the lack of "closeField". If anybody else sees the inconsistency with the "Clear" command as a bug, I would be happy to make a sample stack and report it, I'd just like to be sure I'm seeing it right before I do.
