MouseLeave and linked text question: 2nd try

I posted this yesterday but it may have got lost in the shuffle. I'm really hoping someone might explain the following scenario to me... what message (besides mouseMove) is sent to Revolution when the hovering mouse moves off a chunk of linked text? Thanks, Mark

Can someone explain the following? In the script below, in the first if/then structure, the mouse moving away from a piece of linked text causes the backgroundColor of that linked text to reset to empty. But the mouse is only moving off the linked text, not out of the field. This makes me think a piece of linked text is a control which receives a mouseLeave message. Is this correct?

But then with the repeat structure below that, only by the mouse actually leaving the field does the backgroundColor of all lines reset to empty. Which leads me to think that the linked text it was hovering over was not a control.
How does this work?
Thanks
Mark
on mouseLeave
  -- unhighlight any currently highlighted text:
  if storedHilitedChunk is not empty then
    do "set the backgroundColor of" && \
        storedHilitedChunk && "to empty"
    put empty into storedHilitedChunk
  end if
  repeat with y = 1 to 3
    repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines of field y
      set the backgroundColor of line x of field y to empty
    end repeat
  end repeat
  pass mouseLeave
end mouseLeave
