Hmmm.  Your dissolve must be fast enough so you don't notice slow  
responses at the keyboard.  The 'wait ... with messages' is typically  
best used only one at a time.  If you have several handlers using that  
you get them finishing LIFO; this is not really multitasking.   
Eventually, you may need to use send.  If you think your dissolves are  
fast enough, then a single send will do the trick.

Try 'unlock screen' after showing and hiding to force rendering the  
buttons.  The idea below may make this moot.

My guess on the slow index tabs is the long menuPick.  Again the  
solution is to use send.  Replace the wait and hide with this:

send "hideLT" to me in 2 seconds
etc

Then add to your script:

on hideLT
   hide button bBubbleChooseLT
end hideLT
etc
