Problem with sending the Windows Key + L

[Ainner]

I'm using the Novell client.

Send("#l")

This lock the workstation but the "l" key doesn't work anymore unless I press the windows key to unlock it.

I tested it with an older version of AutoIt and it work no problem.

I'm sorry Ainner but i Copy the code
you reported and it work with pure autoit version 3.2.12.1.
Maybe reinstalling may help.

Fixed in version: 3.2.13.8

In 3.2.13.8 or later you will be able to avoid this problem with the following code:

Opt("SendKeyDelay", 0)
Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 0)
Send("#l")

I've made changes so that setting the delay to 0 works as expected. The system is locked before the Windows key is released because of the built-in delays. The problem is a race condition which is why some people won't see it. This should virtually eliminate the issue although it's still theoretically possible it can still occur.
