Switching between plot window and text window, does not work well

Bear with me, this is a little hard to explain

For many years I have been initializing the text screen and a plot screen quite successfully. Text is unit 6, plot is usually unit 21. Not a problem. Then I would calculate a lot of data and plot on the plot screen as a check-plot (not document quality). After every plot I issue a PAUSE command by a subroutine that askes for a keyboard response, and the program continues with any key press, usually proceeding to the next plot. I can easily have 40 of these to check, one at a time.

This no longer works. I now have to have some portion of the text screen visible to click on before I press the a key. If I do only that, when I resume the program I find that CLEARSCREEN($GCLEARSCREEN) no longer works. I inserted another line before VPAUSE to SETACTIVEQQ, and by doing that CLEARSCREEN now works, but I still have to click on the text screen to get the keyboard to work. That keyboard click goes to VTEXT, whick issues the FOCUSQQ command.

This all used to work with CVF 6.6B. But it does not work with my Intel Fortran, and I do not know why. It this a bug in the library? Or perhaps it is a "feature"? Whatever, when focus is on the plot screen the keyboard does not work, and I need to be able to get the program to continue.

I do not want to use PAUSE, because I already use too many highly valuable deleted features.

Who has a suggestion?

I suspect you are having the same problem as described here. Can you attach a small but complete program that demonstrates the problem you see?
