evl,

I hadn't used AltTab.ahk for a long time, but decided today to start using it again. What an interesting surprise to find that you posted an update just yesterday. Smile

The script seems mu ...

I ran your test in Word, but I wrote the clips out to files then did a binary diff. Word creates two different binary clips even if you copy the exact same data twice in a row. Strange, but true.

Laszlo: Actually, the AHK help file says the following about comparing binary ClipboardAll variables. My interpretation is that my comparison will work fine. Your thoughts?

Variables to which Clipb ...

Laszlo: Good point about my binary comparison. If I ever get OnClipboardChange to work the way I need, I'll research a long-term solution. Smile

Your Traytip code is a good addition. It serves a sim ...

So far, vital and I have both run across this problem.

If urlwolf or anyone else wants to try and reproduce the problem, then run the script below.

To test, do copies and pastes throughout the d ...

I moved all my clipboard code into its own script. The OnClipboardChange label does remain active longer in this configuration, but it still stops being called after several hours of using the script. ...

Sweet. That works.

Thanks for the reply. I'm still seeing OnClipbardChange stop responding (way too often).

Unless there is a fix, I'm going to start restructuring my script in the hope it resolves the issue.

I've written my own multiple clipboard code (just like many other people have done). Everything works great for maybe three hours, then I notice that the contents of my multi-clip list isn't changing. ...

I do have a work-around for this problem (which I should have posted a long time ago).

Shader is correct about the problem happening when the mouse isn't at the same place as the menu. I do a Mouse ...

toralf, please try your test again.

A_ThisMenuItem starts off blank when the script starts. Try selecting an item then popup the menu again and press Escape. A_ThisMenuItem will contain the first v ...

I've used this approach several times, and it does work fine (except I have trouble determining when someone presses Escape).

Using multiple labels is definitely an option, but I've found a bunch o ...

I'm using AHK 1.0.46, and the help file says:
The built-in variables A_ThisMenuItem and A_ThisMenuItemPos contain the name and position of the custom menu item most recently selected by the user (bla ...
