AutoIt send key combinations do not work sometimes

[icemang2@…]

When AutoIT is used to copy and paste several hundred lines of text from a text file, line by line (each line will be copied to clipboard using clipput() and inserted into an application using ctrl-v). Sometimes, ^{v or v will be paste into the active window instead of the actual contents of the clipboard being dumped as is specified when send ("}v")or ctrlsend is used.

Can you please expalin why this is not a bug?

If command send ("^{v) is used, the contents of the clipboard is supposed to be input into the field that has focus. However, when it is put in a loop which iterates over 400 lines (even with the sleep function before and after the send() function) , sometimes AUTOIT sends the raw text "}v" and not the command CTRL-V to the text box. The result is that "^{v" and not the contents of the clipboard is paste to the save-as dialog box. So, my files are sometimes saved with file-name "}V". As i said previously this happens off and on.
