Actions: Dialog not opening automatically

I've recently updated for CS4 CS5.  I imported some actions that I created without problem.

I use one for sharpening with the following steps:

1. convert in Lab Mode

2. Select lightness channel

3 open Unsharp Mask dialog box

4 convert RGB mode

The "Dialog" is properly enabled/disabled on "on" in step # 3

However when I run the Action, the dialog box for the USM is not automatically pop up, as in CS4 - but if I click anywhere on the screen, she does next.

I tried to recreate the same action in CS5, but it has the same problem - for the USM dialog box does not open by itself and does that when I click anywhere on the screen.

This happens both on my Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit desktop and a new laptop Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

Very frustrating - I did a search for solutions, but found no.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks a lot for your time, Noel.

The plot thickens:

Your Action works very well for me.  When I look at the measures in CS5, on the Actions tab, they appear to be identical; I see no apparent difference.

And, on further inspection, the plot even more complicated:

I tracked down the problem - I called F10 as a shortcut key for this action.  When I created this new in CS5, I assigned SHIFT + F10.  With these two, the dialog box opens not until a click anywhere on the screen.

But if I just press the 'Play' icon for one of them, they work fine.  If I assign other shortcut keys (for example, I tried F9, F11, SHIFT + F9, SHIFT + F11), they also work very well.

(Edited to add: If the shortcut of your action, I did F10, it displays the same behavior as mine - the dialog box does not open upward.)

So there's something with F10 as a keyboard shortcut, for at least some actions, that triggers this behavior, at least on my system.

Still, it's okay, but I'd be curious to know how to use F10 as a shortcut to Action effects the behavior of this Action on your system.

And thanks for the alternative method to achieve my goal - it is always good to learn new things.

Best regards

Don
