What I've done in a similar situation is throw the change into the
run loop instead of doing it immediately. For the currency example:
[ [ NSRunLoop currentRunLoop ]
performSelector:@selector( selectText: )
target:rateField
argument:self
order:9999
modes:[ NSArray arrayWithObject:NSDefaultRunLoopMode ] ];
This replaces [ rateField selectText:self ].
This way, it's done "in a moment" instead of now, after the text field
has been handled.
