Opening AutoIT Help runs script

[Cusem]

Not sure if I'm in the right forum, with questions regarding SciTE, can't think of a better forum though (developer chat maybe?).

I wrote a project opener, which opens all most recents versions of modules of a project. It also opens AutoIT Help and the AutoIT Forums.

I'm using AutoIT v3.3.0.0 and SciTE 1.76.

Usually If I click F1 in SciTE, not only the help will open up, but the script will also run (like pressing F5). If I Click Help -> Help F1 this isn't the case and Help launches.

In my project opener I used the following code to open the AutoIT Help

WinMenuSelectItem("[CLASS:SciTEWindow]", "Source", "&Help", "&Help  F1")

But now the opened script also runs. So If I open the helpfile with the following code, the script that is opened in SciTE also runs (like pressing F5).

Anybody any idea's how to combat this?

After I compiled the script, the problem doesn't occur anymore.

I've had the same problem sometimes. I recall there was a unfixable bug in Scite that caused the behaviour.

There were some threads about the problem also.

This is indeed a know issue in SciTE.

When you press F5 to run a script and while that is still running you do F1, it will also do again an F5.

This is due to the design of the JobQueue in SciTE and haven't seen anybody working on it at the SciTE Interest Site lately to fix that.

Ok, thanks!

Doesn't matter that much since fortunately the compiled version of the script opener doesn't trigger this bug.
