To be fair, a WAIT WINDOW doesn't cause a wait state in the true sense. Yes, it can recive user input, but like with MESSAGEBOX(), the user is not free to cause any other event to fire, she can only close the WAIT WINDOW with a click or a keypress, so the WAIT WINDOW cannot change the event firing order.

I'm not sure what scenario you observed this in, but if you can remember it, I would interested to hear, because I have never had a WAIT WINDOW screw with code sequence.
