[Moose-dev] Re: Issue 653 in moose-technology: [Glamour] GLMBasicExamples>>staticAndDynamicMenu presents not working actions

Comment #4 on issue 653 by tu...@tudorgirba.com: [Glamour] GLMBasicExamples>>staticAndDynamicMenu presents not working actions http://code.google.com/p/moose-technology/issues/detail?id=653

A TextPresentation does not populate the #selection port automatically. The reason is that typically, the #selection port is used as a shortcut to connect two panes, but in the case of a text presentation we typically want to select a piece of text and trigger some action based on it. Thus from a usability point of view, it is not the selection that should trigger the population of #selection, but the action.

This is why we populate #selectionText by default.

Does this help?
