Running AppleScript with dialog field in BTT makes external ForceTouch Trackpad unable zu make clicks

Hey,

when I try to run an AppleScript with a dialog field in BTT, my Trackpad becomes unresponsive. I can still move the cursor, but I'm unable to click anything. Only when I push "esc" to eliminate the dialog field, I can click stuff again. This happens wether I paste the code into BTT or open an AppleScript-File with BTT. I use "Run AppleScript (blocking). I wanted to tricker this AppleScript, when using a trackpad gesture.

**Affected input device (e.g. MacBook Trackpad, Magic Mouse/Trackpad, Touch Bar, etc.)

external ForceTouch Trackpad

And, yes I just downloaded the latest version of BTT today.

Thanks!

Apple Scripts with dialog fields need to use the "blocking" predefined action. Could you send me a screenshot / export of your setup?

Like I said, I am using the "Run AppleScript (blocking) action.

Ah I can reproduce it, it seems to happen only with click gestures though.

I'll look into it!
