Hi Richard,

I have a couple of palettes and toplevel stacks open here.
Now when I select some text in a field of a non palette stack
and click on a button/list field in a palette, the selection
disappers,
so "the selectedchunk" is empty in that case.
Too bad if you are working on a text-formatting palette window :-)
BUT this does not happen with all palettes (only with the text
formatting thing, of course!)?!
Which palettes does this not happen with?
My "2lzs2" palette for instance.
I've not been able to find a good solution for my own text
formatting palette, so on the recommendation of some of the folks
here I store the current selection when the mouse enters the
palette, then restore the selection when they click. Dumb, I know,
but it gets me through the day.
I already store "the selectedchunk" but "restoring" it again is a
good idea :-)
It seems the core issue here is that Rev requires that the
selectectedField always be either the focusedObject or empty,
precluding the notion of a field having a selection but not having
focus.
This is, of course, counter to the way UIs work. In fact, most go
further to even allow text selection in inactive windows.
I think there's a RQQC request for this, but I couldn't find it
this morning.
Anyway, thanks a lot for this hint!
