Python • Can Someone Help Me out with Pyautogui?

Ok So Im trying to Automate this

1. Open Glabels (Did this with Popen)
2. Have Glabels Open a File so its ready to work with.
(This involves an (alt + f) keystroke, then manually typing in a file name and enter)

I can open Glabels Ok, but from there None of the pyautogui commands seem to go through. Now to try to figure out what was going on, I tried a few things in a while true loop and this is what I Noticed

While Running the first scenerio that should move the mouse pointer back and forth, The mouse would remain stationary however I can See menu bars etc highlighting as if a secondary invisable mouse was working..

While Running the Second Test which tracks the mouse position I would notice that pyautogui.position() would freeze anytime the pointer was over the Glabels Window.

p = subprocess.Popen("glabels-3",
stdin=subprocess.PIPE,
stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
stderr=subprocess.PIPE)#,
#shell=True)
time.sleep(11) #takes a long time to load
pyautogui.moveTo(20,20,duration=1)
time.sleep(1)
print("Initializing Alt - F Now")
pyautogui.keyDown('alt')
time.sleep(1)
pyautogui.keyDown('f')
time.sleep(0.5)
pyautogui.keyUp('f')
time.sleep(0.5)
pyautogui.keyUp('alt')
pyautogui.moveTo(50,400,duration=5)
#
while True:# Test Debugging Lines To Resolve pyautogui issue
#if I execute this I see activity in the thonny Menu Bar but Mouse Arrow is stationary like a second invisable MOUSE
# pyautogui.moveTo(20,20,duration=5)
# time.sleep(5)
# pyautogui.moveTo(50,400,duration=5)
# time.sleep(5)
#If I execute this code instead the mouse loses position when it is passed over the Glabels window Opened
print (pyautogui.position())
time.sleep(1)
