I used to have an example, I struggled with the problem until I figured out the reason, and then I modified the script to work around it. It actually didn't happen in the IDE, only on Android. (I didn't test on iOS.) Now I can't remember what the original problem script was. But I'll see if I can reproduce it.

Except when it doesn't. There seems to be an override in the lock

purpose or not.

Internally there is a counter - and only one - the engine uses it too
when it needs to.

The lock is dropped as soon as you get back to a wait with messages
though (IIRC) (certainly the main runloop).

Unbalanced lock screens can cause problems though - the IDE has had a
fair few in the past - it might still... Do you have an example of the
abberent behavior you've seen? It would be useful to know if there is an
engine issue lurking here, or a misplaced lock/unlock screen in the IDE.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
