Hi Bjornke, Yes, I've run into some of those issues with rev libraries and found that shifting them to openCard fixed those issues. I must have missed the post about the lock screen issue, but I've had that same issue too.
This is a new type of problem though, at least to me. No libraries or externals involved, just sending a message to an existing control. I've fixed the problem by implementing Mark's workaround of moving the mouseUp logic to a separate handler and calling it from mouseUp and my preOpenCard handler. I guess I'm just very suspicious of anything other than really straightforward commands in preOpenCard now.
