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.

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
