Highlited text in a cd fld

[Bob Sneidar]

I have a similar issue with any field. The focus is lost when switching to another app. It’s not just that the text is no longer selected, the cursor is no longer at the end of the text you were typing and the focus border is off for the field you were typing in. I have to click where I was typing again before proceeding. It’s a little annoying. 

You can play around with suspendStack and resumeStack if you like. on suspendStack save the current focused object and selection in a stack property, and on resumeStack restore it again. It’s ugly but I bet it would work. Pass the messages when done with them. Not sure what would happen if you blocked them.
