SYMPTOMS

When the INKEY() function is issued in a full-screen application (the Apple Finder does not appear in the background), there is no way to return to the Finder or to switch applications until a key is pressed. The machine appears to be hung.

RESOLUTION

If any part of the Finder or another application is visible in the background, you can click on this area to activate it. Otherwise, you must press a key before any other action can occur.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Type the following commands in the Command window:

   ZOOM WINDOW SCREEN MAX
   =INKEY(0)
                

Note that mouse clicks are no longer recognized and the application menu is not available, preventing you from switching to another application.
