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.
FWIW, I have the problem in a different context:: I use System Events
to run an open Script Editor file by clicking its Run button. The
button then remains dark, which I have assumed is due to lack of a
mouse-up event. In my case it's useful, as it lets me know the script
has been run. OSX 10.4.6--Jonathan
