Disappearing text

[Greg Wills]

Thanks Sarah for your comments. The text field that I am selecting 
from needs to be text wrapped for the viewer to see, so "Don't wrap" 
doesn't work. The action of what I want is OK, it is just that 
visually it is off-putting when the text that has been selected 
disappears from view. I was wondering if it is a bug, or is there 
some setting that needs to be set to prevent this?

Yes it is just text with a return that defines the selected - clicked - text.
