Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Copy the following lines of code into a .prg file and run it:

        PUBLIC x
        x = CREATEOBJECT( 'form1' )
        x.Show

        **************************************************
        *-- Form:         form1 (h:\vfp5\misc\cyrus_edt2.scx)
        *-- ParentClass:  form
        *-- BaseClass:    form
        *
        DEFINE CLASS form1 AS Form
          Top = 0
          Left = 0
          DoCreate = .T.
          Caption = "Form1"
          Name = "Form1"

          ADD OBJECT edit1 AS EditBox WITH ;
                Height = 217, ;
                Left = 12, ;
                Top = 12, ;
                Width = 121, ;
                Name = "Edit1"

          PROCEDURE Click
                KEYBOARD REPLICATE( "a{enter}", 60 ) PLAIN
                KEYBOARD REPLICATE( "a{enter}", 60 ) PLAIN
                KEYBOARD REPLICATE( "a{enter}", 60 ) PLAIN
                KEYBOARD REPLICATE( "a{enter}", 60 ) PLAIN
          ENDPROC

        ENDDEFINE
        *
        *-- EndDefine: form1
        **************************************************

2. Click anywhere on the form outside of the Edit box region. NOTE: this
  populates the edit region with multiple lines of the letter "a."

3. Click into any active window outside of the form, such as the Command window.
  NOTE: The error is generated.
