Win XP Home/Pro SP2 AutoIt beta 3.2.11.3

The use of "[CLASS:classnane; TEXT:controltext]" method to identify controls has been broken in the latest beta 3.2.11.3, I haven't checked 11.1 and 11.2, I is working correctly in 3.2.10.0

My investigations so far point to the sailient point being that if one of the controls in the CLASS: has a null text value "" then it seems to be selected in preference to the TEXT: value specified

Script to reproduce observed behaviour using Word 2002 or 2003. Hopefully someone will have access to Word and be able to confirm my observations.

To used it you need to have a number of toolbars visible and docked including the 'Web' and 'Visual Basic' toolbars. Run with 3.2.10.0 and 3.2.11.3 and you'll see the difference. The 'Visual Basic' toolbar is found in 3.2.10.0 but not in 3.2.11.3

;Requires Word 2002 or 2003 with most toolbars visible and docked 'WEB' and 'Visual Basic' must be visible. may work with
