Hi.
I don't understand. If you have text selected in the field, what are you doing with the value that the selectedChunk sets into the local variable "it"? You never say where to paste that text. What does this do for you, perhaps with some text selected in a field 1? It "puts", rather than "pastes", but maybe that is better? on mouseUp set the defaultStack to the topStack get the selectedChunk put the value of it after fld 1 end mouseUp Of course, a simpler way is to: on mouseUp set the defaultStack to the topStack get the selectedText put it after fld 1 end mouseUp Craig Newman set the defaultStack to the topStack get the selectedChunk -----Original Message----- From: David Epstein <dfepst...@comcast.net> To: use-livecode <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> Sent: Mon, Jun 22, 2015 5:20 pm Subject: Insertion point problems 1. With a word selected in field 1 of the topStack, a menu button in a palette issues a command “Paste”. The handler for this command includes set the defaultStack to the topStack get the selectedChunk — test whether the chunk is a suitable place to paste, and if so then paste This works fine if there is actually a word selected in field 1. But if there is only an insertion point it does not work; the selectedChunk is reported as empty. (On mouseDown on the palette menu, a selected word stays selected; but a blinking insertion point disappears). 2. Results above both in LC 5.5 and LC 7.01. But I notice another problem in 7.01 (unlike in 5.5): the insertion point does not blink. I see it blink just after typing a character, and it blinks once when the stack is activated, but when nothing is happening there is no indication of where the insertion point is. Do others see this, or have solutions?
