Several strange annoyances in scripts with ~LButton Up hotkey:
1. Double click doesn't work anymore, or let's say very rarely.
2. Marking text with Shift-Button (in Notepad for example) works but after releasing the Shift Button text is *still* marked when moving the mouse. This problem disappears when using *~LButton Up::!

Are these problems related to ?

I hope that I have not overseen anything and this is really a bug. If not please give me a hint, thanks.

I think this is due to the following issue: "If A_Cursor's contents are fetched repeatedly at a high frequency (i.e. every 500 ms or faster), it will probably disrupt the user's ability to double-click. There is no known workaround."

I know you're not calling it with high frequency in this case, but you are calling it immediately after the first click of a double click, which is enough to disrupt it I think.

The asterisk is needed to make the hotkey fire when you're holding down Shift or another modifier key. If this is not the point you're trying to make, I could use clarification.

You are right with A_Cursor, a Sleep 250 does the trick and reenables the double click. Problem 1 is solved, thanks.


The point is that the hotkey should not fire on Shift-Lbutton Up when there is no asterisk but it does. Well, it doesn't really fire but seems to generate a MouseDown event or eat the Mouse Up event. When the asterisk is added Notepad and the like have no problems with Shift-marking anymore.

Try these scripts, press mouse button a few times in Notepad and then try to mark using Shift-LeftClick. Then release the mouse button and the Shift key afterwards and move the mouse around:

Problematic script, text is marked as if the left mouse button is still pressed:


Unproblematic script:


Do you see the difference?

Thanks for explaining it so well. This is definitely a bug and it has been fixed in v1.0.37.02.

Thanks for reporting it.

Thanks very much for the fix, works fine now.
