Lock screen and 'Go card' not working

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Ian,

Unfortunately, you can't select an object that is onto another card.
And I ended with weird results when executing something like: group  
<obj of cd 1> and <another obj of cd 1> while I am on card 2:
The group was created but appeared on cd 2 and was removed from cd 1:  
curious...

On the other hand:
As you know it: lock and unlock screen go by pairs.
So have you tried to lock the screen twice or three times and unlock  
it until the lock screen = false?
Really dirty but worth a try ;-)
You can also add in some places: put the lockscreen & cr after msg to  
understand which statement makes the lock screen reset to false...

Best regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.
