macOS 10.14.6 here, LC 9.5.1 rc1

no, it doesn't unfortunately!

I wrote (this is in fact in my field 1):

With DOing I meant of course your above mentioned procedere "on mouseup":

on mouseUp
  do fld 1 as AppleScript
  put the result into fld 2
end mouseUp

But all I get in field 2 is -> execution error
Clueless...
