Mouse will not click until after other actions take place

Post by dmehling »

In the attached image, you can see a macro I have created called stop recording satellite. The very last action of that macro is to display a blank image over most of my desktop. Just before that I have a left click action, which clicks the stop button on my video capture device software. The strange thing is, in the event log, that left click action comes before the display action, but in actuality the left click action does not seem to take place until after the image is displayed. I want to hide my screen recording program after I make it click record, and after I make it click stop record. In this case however, the blank image comes up before the left click occurs. But it has nothing to do with the display image action. This same strange behavior occurs with any kind of action after a mouse click action. I tried to replace the left click actions with a left click toggle down and left click toggle up and I get the same behavior. I also get similar strange behaviors with the right-click actions earlier in the macro. After the right-click actions, the macro is supposed to find a program and bring it to the front, but the right-click actually occurs afterwards, not before. Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?
