Trying to come up with a workaround. Turns out that in a combo box the 
selectedChunk does NOT return the insertion point. Instead it returns the 
description of the first line of the text of it. For example, I have 5 
characters in the combo box, the insertion point is at the end of that text. I 
have a handler:

on backspaceKey
   put the selectedChunk into StoredChunk
end backspaceKey

StoredChunk now contains char 1 to 12 of button 1, not char 5 to 4 of button 1 
like it should. Instead it's the length of the first line of the text of that 
button. Again, is this what is supposed to happen, or should I submit a bug 
report?
