I'm curious about this too, because I have found that *blocking* cmd- 
A (= select all) in a field is very hard, meaning I haven't found a  
way to do it. (So I had the opposite problem from the o.p.) Oddly  
enough, cmd-C (= copy) seems also to work by itself, but I found I  
had to write code to implement cmd-V (= paste). Puzzling.
