Shouldn't space or enter in a menu select the hilited item?

[Bob Sneidar]

Hi Craig. It's not a popup menu it's a combo box. I do use popup menus and those work as advertized. 

When I click to expand a combo box menu, it I get the list of items, and if I click an item, it correctly selects that item. If however I use the arrow keys to hilite an item then use the space bar or return to select the hilited item, the hilited item is NOT selected, it retains it's previous label.

If I click any of the choices, the menuPick handler gets the choice as the first parameter. If however I use the spacebar or the enterKey to select a choice, the parameter is empty in menuPick! That isn't right, is it??
