SYMPTOMS
========
Using one of the following commands results in unexpected behavior when the
appropriate mouse button is subsequently pressed. The WAIT window flashes
briefly on the screen and then disappears:
ON KEY LABEL RIGHTMOUSE WAIT WINDOW "<Text>"
-or-
ON KEY LABEL LEFTMOUSE WAIT WINDOW "<Text>"
-or-
ON KEY LABEL MOUSE WAIT WINDOW "<Text>"
RESOLUTION
==========
Two possible alternatives to using a WAIT window are:
- Instead of using a WAIT window, use a procedure that defines a window,
activates it, and places an @SAY "<Text>" command inside it.
-or-
- Use the ON KEY LABEL RIGHTMOUSE SET MESSAGE TO "<Text>" command instead
of a WAIT window. The text will appear on the status bar when the right mouse
button is pressed.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article.
