Are you using an editable text field in your palette, or just clicking 
buttons?

If just buttons remember to turn off the traversalOn property and you 
should be fine.

For editable fields it's a different story, since LiveCode currently 
maintains the xTalk tradition of allowing only one editable field at a 
time.  Would be nice to see that changed, but I imagine it's tricky, not 
just in engineering but in syntax.
