Ouch,
making statusbartext = space doesn't solve the problem of "opt". When I switch pages in a pageframe, on one page I see this dreadful message after I changed a value in the combobox on the first page and saved my changes. I do not want to use set message to in the interactivechange of the combo, because we're not calling dodefault() there.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
