Copy from menu vs Copy with CMD+C

[Doug Lerner]

I set up an Edit menu with a Copy item with a script to "copy" when
selected. I also added an option CMD+C for that item.

If I select text in a field (lockText true, traversalOn true) using the menu
item directly, the selected text gets placed in the clipboard.

But if I use the CMD+C instead, the text immediately gets deselected and
nothing gets copied to the clipboard.

What might I be doing wrong?

Thanks,
