selectedField in 2.7 not working

[Thomas McGrath III]

Jacqueline,

That is what I am getting now. On windows it never works (always  
gives an error that it can't find the target) and on OSX 10.4 it  
works at first and then suddenly it doesn't work later on it works.

In trying to track this down I did notice that the insertion I beam  
is a little latent behind the typing of the f on OSX. It didn't used  
to be.

This was a generic keyboard in my Pocket PC software prototype so  
each letter has the code in it (I know I should have put it at the  
card level but i wrote that when I was first learning) It worked  
flawlessly in 2.6.1 and below.
