SETs often have global effects which make their local use frustrating.
I have not found it so, but one must be careful.
Well, OP had a classic case, where the SET is saved, changed, and reset in a very small snippet of code, but if other code runs in the meantime (timers, in that case, or menu code or LostFocus events) that depend on the global setting, confusion results.
I can see timers giving problems -- thankfully, I do not use them -- but LostFocus? Isn't that just in the normal sequence of events? Why would it give trouble?
