Send bug?

[Raymond]

Since I can't post in Bug Report area, so I post it here.

I have 2 very simple script

Send("{APPSKEY}")
Send("x")

Send("{APPSKEY}")
Send("e")

which mean "Extract here" and "Extract to the same name folder here" of an archieve file respectively, if WinRAR installed in your system.

They work well with AutoIt v3.2.2.0 and its previous versions.

But with all versions after v3.2.2.0, these 2 scripts doesn't work and behave weird.

I guess there's something wrong with "Send("{APPSKEY}")".

Does anyone experience the same? (It's been a long time now)

In AutoIt version 3.2.11.0 or 3.2.10.0 on Windows XP,

Send("{APPSKEY}")

opens a context menu, simulating a right-click in the field of the active window or of any selected text or selected file in the active window.

Send("e")

just sends an "e" as expected.

You might try a little sleep to give time for the menu to open:

Send("{APPSKEY}")
Sleep(120)
Send("e")

There is a new version of AutoIt that came out a few days ago... 3.2.11.1

I just played around a while with v3.2.11.4. The problem is still there and Sleep(120) didn't help much.

Repeatly running either of these 2 scripts 4 or 5 times, it seems some other actions are going on there and the system even froze for a while.

I don't konw...the change of Send function since v3.2.2.0 must do something wrong and havenot fixed so far.
