1. RE: Clearing Text Box
clear() is intended to clear *selected* text from an object. It's
intended to be used as an editing procedure like copy, cut, paste, etc.
Your problem is likely related to which control has focus. You should
probably just setText(control,"") to avoid any such problems.

2. RE: Clearing Text Box
No... then you are just making an alias for setText(control,""). Then
you'd have to write another function to do what clear() currently does
(clear_selected_text()?). Then to be consistent you'll have to rename
copy() to copy_selected_text() and cut() to cut_selected_text()...
I'd just leave it. clear() works properly as documented.

3. RE: Clearing Text Box
After re-reading your question (and noting the *if*) I guess it's not
quite an alias for setText(control,"") but I still think you should
leave it alone. What if I don't want to clear if nothing is selected?
Then I'd need an extra check to see if anything was selected...
