Hi again,

Answering my problem with PostRetaining in TIB_Edit.OnExit causing input
to be blocked after changing focus with the mouse,

Unfortunately, both suggestions don't work. I could however solve the
problem now
by setting a flag in the event handler, and installing an Application.OnIdle
routine which does test the flag and then calls PostRetaining.

Bottomline: don't call Post(Retaining) from within GUI event handlers; it
seems that the flow of internal events in IBO is not prepared to handle that
situation.
