Seen on http://bugreport.apple.com/ :
Problem ID: 4716623
Title: AppleScript: Mouse left-click is lost forcing a reboot
State: Open
Created Date: 04-Sep-2006 10:17 PM

tell application "Terminal" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Terminal"
keystroke "c" using {control key down}
end tell
end tell

Apparently it's not sending the matching control key "up" message.
This means the control key remains down until one forces a reboot
since the mouse loses left-clickability.

It appears that there is no mouseup event in System Events action - and
click does not really perform this. I'm dealing with the continuing problem
of FileMaker scripting, and clicking on some dialog objects doesn't work. I
see the object react but nothing happens.

When I use the mouse on the object, I see that click down on the object gets
the same reaction as the System Events click action. It is only on mouseup
that the actual selection is made.

So is there some way for System Events to send a mouseup action to an object
or location?
