How to instantly start a scenario?

I am experimenting with getting a greenfoot scenario to start as soon as it is launched. In the world constructor, I use the method "Greenfoot.start();". It does work, and the actors act, but greenfoot won't detect any keyboard input. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Click on the screen first, and then the keyboard will start working.

It isn't working. Once I restart the scenario, greenfoot won't accept keyboard input, even after I have clicked on the screen (I take it you mean the world?). The only way I can get it working again is to pause and run again.

Actually, I've found its really unreliable. Sometimes Greenfoot will accept keyboard input almost straight away, and other times you need to wait up to 5 seconds before you can use the keyboard. However, if you use the keyboard before Greenfoot starts accepting keyboard input, you won't be able to use the keyboard at all, until you pause or reset.
