Well, this is completely wrong, sorry, it was a major think-o. Obviously 
your popup button is invisible. And the above isn't right for a visible 
button anyway.

You are correct to put the mousedown handler into the field, which then 
issues the "popup" command. The above menupick handler does go into the 
button that is popped up.

Check the menuMousebutton property though, that may be the problem.
