Another strange error

Hi,

I use scripts with Mail and Safari to enlarge text and return to original. Both called from iKey.

The "Larger Text" script works without issue but the revert (see below) usually ends with an error after 999 seconds.
"Command "Revert from LargerText Safari" has not terminated in the defined delay of 999.0 second.."

I assume that the try block is the issue but it does'n error. The setBounds script when called by itself runs without a problem.

I'm currently trying replacing the "run script" with a keystroke but it will be a while before it may or may not error.

(* Revert from LargerText Safari*)
# NOTE: THIS SCRIPT MAY DEPEND ON THE ASObjC Runner.app

set delayTime to 0.3
set keysPressed to true

repeat while keysPressed contains true
	tell application "ASObjC Runner"
		set keysPressed to properties of modifier keys as list
	end tell
	delay delayTime
end repeat

tell application "Mail"
	activate
	tell application "System Events" to tell application process "Mail"
		keystroke "-" using command down
		delay delayTime
		keystroke "-" using command down
		delay delayTime
		keystroke "-" using command down
		delay delayTime
	end tell
end tell

try -- return window to normal if necessary
	 run script POSIX file "/Library/Scripts/Universal Scripts/setBounds" as alias
on error
	beep 3
end try

Tia,
