CGEventPost - possible bug when simulating keyboard events?

I had a similar problem recently. Instead of passing NULL as the first argument of CGEventCreateKeyboardEvent, create an event source like this:

CGEventSourceRef eventSource = CGEventSourceCreate(kCGEventSourceStateHIDSystemState);

and use it while you are creating and posting events. CFRelease it when you are done with it.
