Visual effect issue with a tab panel button

[Eric Chatonet]

Bonjour André,
Hello Jerry,

At first sight, if the screen is locked when your menuPick handler  
runs, I see one only possible reason:
There is a front script that traps menuPick, locks the screen then  
passes the message:
I suspect GLX2 to do it but I can't verify as I have not GLX2 installed.
Anyway it is logical :-)
Try to uninstall GLX2 to be sure because your current code (that  
works with GLX2) might no longer work in any other environment.

On the other hand you could use the following workaround:

repeat until not the lockscreen
   unlock screen
end repeat
lock screen
go cd pItem
unlock screen with <visual effect>

Best regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.
