This is the same issue from v3.2.5.1. ​http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=50553

The controls are all slightly squashed. In a 653 height GUI form, there is now about 20 pixels of empty space at the bottom. When I run the same script with 3.2.10.0 there is no squashing.

In particular, groups, list boxes and the tab text on tab controls are all slightly smaller. Vertical space between objects has also changed. Width does not appear to have changed, only height.

If the 'squishing' were uniform it wouldn't be too much of a problem, but the controls no longer fit as designed (they are a bit tightly packed).

Thanks! Rick

When you set accelerators to be used in a window (using GUISetAccelerators()), other windows also end up "inheriting" the accelerator table from the first window to get accelerators set. Attempting to override accelerator tables in the subsequent windows does not work as expected either.

Checking for window focus in the callback function usually works fine in many cases, but sometimes fails. For example, if keyboard shortcuts with normally "well-defined" behaviors (like {DELETE} or {ENTER} in input/edit controls) are associated with GUI window, then such an edit control in another window would never properly receive the {DELETE} or {ENTER}.

Here's a simple(ish) test script:

#Include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

; Dialog 1 --------------
Global $Dialog1 = GUICreate("Dialog 1", 320, 240)
Global $Dummy = GUICtrlCreateDummy()

Global $Dialog1Accelerators[1][2] = [["{ENTER}", $Dummy]]
GUISetAccelerators($Dialog1Accelerators, $Dialog1)

; Dialog 2 --------------
Global $Dialog2 = GUICreate("Dialog 2", 210, 160)
Global $Edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 5, 5)

Global $Dialog2Accelerators[1][2] = [["{ENTER}", $Edit]]
GUISetAccelerators($Dialog2Accelerators, $Dialog2)

; Miscellaneous ---------
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $Dialog1)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $Dialog2)

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Dummy
            MsgBox(0, "Dummy", "Hotkey caught by Dialog 1!")
        Case $Edit
            MsgBox(0, "Edit", "Hotkey caught by Dialog 2!")
    EndSwitch
WEnd

An (interesting?) aside: depending on situation, the second dialog might actually catch a hotkey press. If you never modify the contents of the edit control, the second window never gets catches the hotkey. After you modify the edit control, though, it manages to catch the hotkey press.

It looks like there might be a bug/regression in the betas with regards to GUIRegisterMsg(), though I'm not exactly sure when the regression occurred. I've attached an example script (sorry it's a tad bit long, but it's simple).

As is, it behaves correctly, and the treeview root can't be expanded by double-click. On the other hand, if you return anything, anywhere in the callback function chain, AutoIt decides it wants to handle the message, regardless of what is returned, and regardless of whether the return value even bubbles up back to the original callback function.

Regarding the function chain, ignore the For loops. I only added them to demonstrate the fact that it isn't because the function chain is taking too long to return that causes AutoIt to behave wonkily (it's something I considered at first).
