@vitor, Thank you for that at least.

Was it something I did? 🙂 Just curious, if this is a known issue or a freak of nature.

@vitor My bad again. I have edited my previous post accordingly.

My apologies. Here's the workflow: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3m7ahra6fc13hfi/IVPN.alfredworkflow?dl=0 Alfred 4.0.9 [1144] macOS Catalina 10.15.4

I have an AppleScript that presses the 'Connect to...' button under the menu bar icon of my VPN client. tell application "System Events" if exists process "IVPN" then tell process "IVPN" to tell menu bar item 1 of menu bar 2 ignoring application responses click end ignoring end tell end if end tell do shell script "killall System\\ Events" delay 0.1 tell application "System Events" if exists process "IVPN" then tell process "IVPN" to tell menu bar item 1 of menu bar 2 tell menu 1 if exists (first menu item whose title starts with "Connect to") then click (first menu item whose title starts with "Connect to") else key code 53 end if end tell end tell end if end tell If there is no such button (already connected), then the escape keystroke is sent (to close the menu). Due to the 5s delay after the first click (a known UI scripting behavior), I had to add a workaround that ignores application response on the first click and then kills all instances of 'System Events' via a shell command, and then clicks the actual button. This setup works consistently when launched from the Script Editor. However, in Alfred it just doesn't. There are no errors in the debug console, and, judging by the bell sound, the script always ends up sending the key code 53 (pressing Esc). What exactly could be the problem?
