On a related note, how do folks handle maintaining text selections? I currently have text formatting controls in a palette, separate from a mainstack that contains the text to be edited. When clicking on the palette, the text selection is lost in the mainstack, so I add backColor to the selected text while the palette has focus; when focus is shifted back to the mainstack, the backColor is removed and the previously unselected text is reselected (!). The issue here is the appearances do not match: text selected by LiveCode has a different appearance than text with a backColor applied. The only way I can see around this is to always use the backColor selection and never allow "true" selection of text. What a pain. There's got to be an easier way. Is there one?
