Rob,
Did you test it any applications where it failed, such as mail.app?
Just verifying the difference isn't between Jaguar's beta UI
scripting and Panthers.
No, I hadn't tested it in any other apps. As far as I know, Mail's
script menu didn't arrive until Panther. So-o-o, in the name of using
a common app for testing, I just ran the script from the script menu
of iTunes 4 and it failed miserably (the trailing dialog still
worked). Regarding the keystrokes, I didn't notice even a blink in
the Edit menu.
This indicates to me that it must be an application specific issue
since there is more than one way for a developer to
incorporate/implement a script menu.
