Confirmed, MacBook Pro 2.33, 10.4.10, Rev 2.8.1 471

How about the following workaround?


Player script:

global gPreviousTarget

on mouseDown
     put the target into gPreviousTarget
     put the long id of btn "_Player Menu" into mButton
     popup mButton
end mouseDown


Card script:

global gPreviousTarget

on mouseDown
    if  gPreviousTarget is "player" && quote & "Player" & quote then
       put empty into gPreviousTarget
       exit mouseDown
    end if
    put the target
end mouseDown
