I think it's because you're using the "selectedLine" instead of the
"selectedText"... 'selectedLine' returns a chunk expression; 'selectedText'
returns the highlighted text. So since you don't need any object descriptor
code, this would leave:

on eventManager theEvent
    if theEvent is empty then set the label of this stack to "New Event"
    else set the label of this stack to theEvent
end eventManager
