Page Scripting Tool

Description

When replaying a page script that applies a column filter on Page 232 - Apply Customer Entries, the playback engine reports that the Apply Filter dialog was successfully closed, but the dialog remains open in the UI.

As a result, the next step in the script fails because a modal dialog is still active.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a Cash Receipt Journal.
2. Enter values so that Applies-to Doc. No. lookup can be opened.
3. Invoke the lookup on Applies-to Doc. No.
4. Page 232 - Apply Customer Entries opens.
5. Use FilterByColumn on field Document No.
6. Enter a valid date value (e.g. RG10000).
7. Confirm the filter by pressing OK (or ENTER).
8. Replay the recorded script.

Expected Result

The Apply Filter dialog closes and focus returns to Apply Customer Entries. Subsequent script steps continue normally.

Actual Result

The playback log indicates that the dialog was closed successfully (page-closed event is recorded), but the dialog remains open on screen.

The next script step fails because the modal filter dialog is still active.

Additional Observations

• The issue occurs both when pressing OK with the mouse and when pressing ENTER.
• Both recording methods generate the same YAML.
• No error is raised when the dialog is supposedly closed.
• The failure occurs only on the next step that interacts with the underlying page.
• Removing the filtering steps allows the entire script to run successfully.
• Adding wait steps after the dialog close does not resolve the issue.

Notes

This appears to be a playback issue where the Page Scripting engine reports the modal filter dialog as closed, while the dialog remains active in the UI and blocks subsequent automation steps.
