In my debug console i get the event object as shown. Could someone kindly let me know why and how it is generated in the flow. Thanks object payload: array[5] event: object clientX: 864 clientY: 539 bbox: array[4] 0: 822 1: 551 2: 924 3: 503 and the screen shot [snap]

How did the msg begin? What started the flow of the message - was it from a dashboard button being pressed? Dashboard button adds those properties so it can play nicely with other nodes e.g. context menu. Ps, add debug nodes to all nodes and you will see exactly where it is generated.
