Hi Dave,

Try putting this at the front of your mouseUp handler
in the button script:
--
  select empty
--
This will trigger the closeField before the stuff in
the button happens ; you may have to set a custom
property or such to check if no error occured.

All this is due to the fact that on Mac, unlike on
Windows and Unix, buttons cannot receive the keyboard
focus (by default) so the focus remains with the
field. So it's your job to trigger the closeField.

Annoying, perhaps, but that's the way the cookie
crumbles...
