closefield/exitfield

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Klaus,

Your proposal would break projects that rely on the ability to copy  
selected text from a field by clicking on a button or selecting an  
item from a menu. You really don't want that.

There are sufficient ways to implement an autosave feature. Think of  
closefield, exitfield, selectionchanged, resumestack, suspendstack, et  
cetera.
