Hi Tore,

I don't want to belabour the point, but I have looked in the online help and have had no luck finding

KEYBOARD cKeyboardValue [PLAIN] [CLEAR] - Beware To be used only as a last resort.

The issue imho is not whether the KEYBOARD '{LEFTMOUSE}' command should be used in this context, but rather that it has a curious side-effect, which incidentally is not solved by adding the PLAIN clause.

All I'm saying is, that clicking the left mouse button and issuing the command - PLAIN or otherwise - does not produce identical results.

It's minor, but as far as I'm concerned, it does qualify as bug.

BR

Peter
