Try single-clicking the tray icon or alternately focusing and unfocusing the application if this happens. Very occasionally the buttons on the 'Stop nthClock' confirmation dialog lack captions. When the 'Execute time' or 'Start time' controls are focused, any key presses are forwarded to the form as though they were hotkeys; i.e., 'T' selects the 'Title' control, 'E' triggers the 'Enabled' checkbox, et cetera. This happens despite the fact that tLaunchPad.KeyDown sets 'Key' to zero, and frmSetup .KeyPreview is False.
