Yes, that's normal behavior. If a field is editable, a right-click 
generates editing messages like openField, enterField, etc. If the field 
is not editable (it's locked) then it will get mouseUp messages. An 
editable field will also get mouseUp on a right-click (useful for 
generating a contextual menu.)

But in the context of this thread, placing the handler directly into the 
field script isn't the same thing as assigning a behavior to the field.
