Menu Buttons and the text property

[Bob Sneidar]

Trying to come up with a workaround. Turns out that in a combo box the selectedChunk does NOT return the insertion point. Instead it returns the description of the first line of the text of it. For example, I have 5 characters in the combo box, the insertion point is at the end of that text. I have a handler:

on backspaceKey
   put the selectedChunk into StoredChunk
end backspaceKey

StoredChunk now contains char 1 to 12 of button 1, not char 5 to 4 of button 1 like it should. Instead it's the length of the first line of the text of that button. Again, is this what is supposed to happen, or should I submit a bug report?
