Is this a bug or am I missing something?

It still holds. Menus are buttons, buttons are not focusable on Mac, so
LC reports the card as focused.

I haven't tracked the problem with two different values in your scripts, 
but my first thought was like Mark's: on mouseDown the focus changes to 
the menu button. Since buttons can't have focus on Mac, you get the card 
reported instead.

I almost never use focusedObject. The handler worked fine when you 
checked the selectedfield, which is how I have always done it too. The 
discrepancy you're seeing is interesting (and maybe worth a bug report,) 
but the alternative method is easy enough.
