Something else you might want to to know, though it may only be academic. LockScreen commands are queued. So if you lock the screen twice, you have to explicitly unlock twice in order to clear the locked state.
It does not matter what happens in the flow of code in terms of screen locking, whether other command or function calls are made. The queue rules throughout. All is reset at idle time.

In your example, it would probably clear at the end of that mouseUp handler, but aTest would completely run with the screen locked.
