[2.30] menu shortcuts randomly not overriden.
 
I have no idea where this problem is stemming from, but once in a while, a macro does not override the menu shortcuts. For example, in my MUD, I use Crtl+F very often, but once in a while, it brings up the find window.

Also another related problem. Once in a while, the command line loses focus suddenly. Whence, I can't issue any macros or type any commands until I manually refocus the command line by clicking on it or on the MUD display.

It does not seem to be a keyboard issue, as I've tried with other keyboards, I've also scaned for viruses using Avast! and spyware with Ad-Aware and my system is clean.

Lastly I did not notice this issue occuring in previous versions of CMUD. So is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix it?

If the command line loses focus, then your macros won't work, so I think the problems are related. I have no idea how your command line would be losing focus, but you might keep the Script Debugger open to see if you can catch it happening. Maybe it's a background trigger that is running a script that causes this somehow. It might also depend upon what other windows you have open, like the package editor or mapper or something like that.

I had this problem with the F7 key which would incorrectly launch a spell check. The only other window open was the mapper.

I clicked on the command prompt repeatedly, to make sure it had focus. The problem remained. However, once I clicked on the map window, and then back on the command prompt, the problem went away. This has happened a couple times, and both times the solution was similar.

The below might not be the cause of the problem, but why does the highlighted lines below appear?

No, your script debugger output looks normal. The "co tree" command was either typed on the command line (starting the ComLine thread), or executed by some script in the background. That is normal.

If the F7 key is causing a problem, please show me what macro you have assigned to this key so I can test it here. I can't get it to fail.
