Intermittent thing that I cannot reliably reproduce, so not sure how much value it has but it may corroborate if others are seeing this.

Sometimes a button will not respond to a click event. As long as I keep the cursor on the control and keep clicking the event will be ignored. The button visually "clicks" (ie animates) so it's not like it doesn't recognise the mouse is over it.

If I move the mouse off of the control then back over it, the clicks are picked up. This is not the same as the other issue where the OnClick event gets removed in the IDE.

As I say, can't reliably reproduce it but it's happened on TDialogButtons & TToolBarButtons that I've noticed.

For me this happens with TButtons.  Sometimes I have to click a button three or four times before it actually fires the OnClick event.

I've noticed that when it won't fire, the button isn't highlighting when the mouse is over it.  If the button does highlight then the click works.

Not so for me on the toolbar buttons at least. The button goes grey when the mouse hovers over it but the click takes a few attempts to fire (or I can just move the mouse away and move back and it will work next click).

Just had it happen a few times in a row.

Tim - if there's anything specific you want me to do to help track this, please let me know.

This may be a focus issue.  2.00 had some issues whereby if focus moved *off* of the browser for any reason, that returning to the browser may not result in focus returning to the correct control.  This has all been straightened out in 2.01.

I'm still suffering from this, though not nearly as frequently.
The button probably doesn't have actual focus but the background does change with the mouse over. I can click the button once or twice with no effect. Moving the mouse away then back again fixes it.

I see it mostly with toolbar buttons & MessageDlg buttons, but it's rare enough to be hard to reproduce yet common enough to be noticeable.

Trying to work out some sort of pattern. I'll let you know if I do.
