popup in selected text in unlocked field

[MisterX]

And that's a great game Jacque!

I recommend it to everyone!

The stack menu was the only way to make it work actually. Did I forget to
mention that? ;|

A button menu will not show up for some reason... I tested different button
names too just in case they coincide with another stack's menus. 

One anoying thing though is that populating those stack menus is not as easy
as populating a button menu unless the user is in a boxed application. Just
extra work otherwise where a toolbar can be more mouse-efficient...
Although, in exchange, you can have icons in menu if you like eye candy!

cheers
