Thomas, u weren't at all specific about the app name so I cannot
download it & have a look. & it's now getting hard to help w/o that
information. Of course if the program's in German I might have
trouble, I've forgotten so much of it from my university studies
nearly 35 years ago--Lord I cannot believe I just wrote that.
NewTextEvent may be called automatically or not, depending on many
factors, some of which are whether the text is highlighted or whether
the text is in a frame which is to be echoed when it changes or when
the screen echo is set to all ...
U could put a different saystring in both the default NewTextEvent &
your own newTextEvent function to see when both are being called. But
your screenStabilizedEvent function is speaking & it sure shouldn't.
