Hi, I finding that after right-clicking in the field and then showing the button popup menu, the focus is shifted to the menu. That’s good. However, if there was text selected in the field that I want to copy or clear, the selection is now lost since the focus was shifted.
I can grab the selected characters before invoking the popup menu and then reselect the original characters in the field to do the edit action. But that seems to be kludge. Is there a better way to edit a selection in a field using a menu popup?
