Are all of these [reasonable] timing issues documented somewhere? I just had a similar problem ... er ... situation regarding On Startup vs On OpenStack

If the command select or focus on is run from and open fld or in the message box then the selection just flashes for a second. If it is run from a button on the card then it works as expected. version 2.6 - what am I doing wrong?


I would not have expected a simple "on open field" to have something else happen after that changes the focus. I wonder what it is so I can stop it?


Well, openField changes the focus sort of by definition.

If you want a word auto-selected, you'll need to delay the selection until after openField is finished. Try this:

 on openField
  if target is not empty then send doSelect to me in 1 tick
end openField

on doSelect
  select word 1 of me
end doSelect
