If construction bug in 5.5.2 ?

[Bob Sneidar]

You have created an interesting infinite loop here. The command "select the text of me" will enter the field generating an openField message. Why this does not, as you say, happen with 5.5.1, I do not know, but it seems to me that it is working exactly as expected with 5.5.2. If I were a doctor and you were the patient, I would reply, "Well don't do that!" 

If this is the only way to accomplish what you are after then lock messages right after your answer dialog and unlock them at the end of the conditional testing.
