Hi Michael,

I fiddled around with this topic, and it's in some sense mystically.

I have two Macs a MacBook and a Mac Pro running the same TM, OS version T 1.5.9 (1589) and Mac OSX 10.6.2; and I have a bundle command:

Input: Selection or Scope
Output: Show Tool Tip
Command:
cat

bound to: ^1

On my MacBook if I'm inside of a multi-line comment the output is correct.
The same file on my Mac Pro, same caret location in a multi-line comment I do see the entire document.

If I place the caret to a function word e.g.:
-on MacBook the output is empty
-on Mac Pro I do see the entire document again


If invoke ^⌥B for Select current Scope on both machines it works always perfectly.


The only difference of both Macs is that I installed a fresh Snow Leopard OS on an empty hard disk, whereby on my MacBook I upgraded Leopard to Snow Leopard.

I have no idea what's going on here.

Cheers,
