When I add
select line lineNbr of me
or
select before line lineNbr of me
right after
set the hilitedline of me to lineNbr
in my mouseup handler, it makes no difference. Arrowkeys up and down still do
nothing. Not sure what you mean when you say that an insertion point of some
type is necessary, since this is a field with listbehavior = true and it never
has an insertion point, just a hilitedline.
And, I repeat, I have an equivalent list field in another stack with the same
properties that works fine with the arrowkeys to change the hilitedline with no
"select line x" or other work-around needed, ie, it works the way list fields
are supposed to work: just click on the field to hilite a line, then arrowkey
up or down to change the hilitedline.
Still a mystery. I may need to delete the field and replace it with a copy of
my working field from the other stack, then alter the script to work in the
problematic stack.
