selectedChunk under Windows

[Ken Ray]

It is probably the fact that the "traversalOn" of the button is TRUE.
Turn it off and you should be OK. The reason is that if the traversalOn
of the button is true, the field loses its focus when you mouseDown on
the button, so when it runs the mouseUp script, nothing is currently
selected  and hence no selectedChunk.
