This combination is working for me. It works for all the tools except the
dropper tool, for some reason.

In the select button:

on menuPick pWhich
  set the label of button "selectTool" to pWhich
  choose pWhich tool
end menuPick


In the image:

on mouseLeave
  choose browse tool
  pass mouseLeave
end mouseLeave
