Subtle difference!
But, in fact, that's logical:
In the dictionary of System Events, there is a "Process" class. This
one knows and implements the click event.
However, the Activate event is defined in the whole AppleScript
language. Since the language itself does not implement a Process
class, it's logical to find it in the Application class.
I'm sure you may bring the app to the front using:
set frontmost of process "My Application.debug" to true
Here's your script in a simpler form. Unless a strange bug happen (in
AppleScript, that's common), it should work the same way:
tell application "System Events"
tell application "My Application.debug" to activate
tell process "My Application.debug" to click UI element "<Button's
Caption>" of front window
end tell
