So, maybe it's not a bug - merely the after effects of the illicit substance

It needs to cork when there is no selection. Imagine you're working with an
editable field, and want to know what is selected when nothing is selected. It
would be a problem if in that one case it gave an error. Maybe that's why it

I see. My "special version" was 4.6.2, since I had a lot of other work
open in 4.6.3 when I tested. Apparently something changed. In 4.6.2 I

I can't remember if I ever used the selectedline instead of the clickline, but
it makes sense. When you look at the selectedchunk on a locked field it shows
as char n to n-1 of line l of field f, so the selected items do know the line
you clicked on.

I don't know how you managed to copy and paste it and it not still work. Yes,
if you make it list behavior it does go in the line you would expect, but for a
regular field, the script works, and the text goes in front of the following
line.
Here's a screen recording, having just copied my scrip
the selectedLine in a locked field that has no selection? Is this
implied as the clickLine? Never knew that...

Hi Mark, Hi Peter
I thought of parsing the content of the variable, but wanted to find the
function or the LiveCode keyword that would do that for me. That function might
