    Are you pausing the test before you set the focus manually?  If you start clicking around on things (like in your video) while TC is still trying to run the test, it will become confused and not do anything at all.  

     

    As far as the popup goes, are you using WaitChild or something similar to look for the OK button?  TC can get ahead of the app.  Even though the button is there on the UI, the object may be slow in loading.  I suggest a wait of some sort, then when the button Exists, set focus on it, then Click.

    What I am clicking around on is the pause/stop buttons, which are not working

    Not shown: The AUT is sitting with the popup/button sitting there, ready to click...

     

    and this is not a simple timeout thing, cuz I waited 20 minutes once, not touching/clicking a thing, just to be SURE... yup, hung

    This is of interest. May be exactly what I need.

    However, 2 questions:

    Given:

    How do I add the needed Keyword (and where?)
