Windows menu palette & insertion point

[Eric Chatonet]

Scott,

Sorry: I missed that your menus were in another window.
But this should not change anything:
Look at Rev tool bar: selecting a menu item does not deselect text.
So I suspect that you have another code snippet that introduces this  
non-wanted side-effect: suspendStack?

Best Regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet
