Enter Data not allowing button click response

[TBS]

Just for posterity - I found the problem !!!

This is a conversion project of an old Classic app - and they had used the command : 'Disable enter & escape keys’ in certain places without the reversing ‘Enable enter & escape keys’ upon closing that window - so I simply added it in my base prompt window opening code and all seems fine once more !!!

Gotta love that old Classic code (and admire the fact that it can still convert all the way up to current Studio levels !)

The Stack is still alive and well - in dev mode I can set the Go Point and tell it to carry on, and it does - so I am curious as to what action is causing a known working window to all of a sudden become dumb at an Enter Data call ? I don’t know if it is maybe the buttons being made inactive or what (I have verified that the windows $keepclikcs is kTrue as is its $enterable property) but I’m a little stumped so just wondering if anyone has come across this sort of thing before and can recall what it may have been ?
