is anyone else finding Onenote 2007 to be problematic with AHK?
Two examples in particular:

1) Issues with up/down arrow keys not working when performed via ahk shortcut keys. This one has already been talked about here (with some workaround being suggested):

2) More generally, I've always had a problem in onenote 2007 where when I first launch onenote and then start typing, the moment I hit shift OR control Or alt, the onenote window loses focus and I have to alt-tab to bring it back. After happening initially like that then its fine for a while, although if I work on other things and come back to that window, then it happens again one more time.

Onenote seems to be the only program affected in this way. Also fyi when exit AHK the problem does not happen.

It might be hard to pin down the section of code in AutoHotkey that's responsible for this, if any. Even if it could be found, making changes (other than hard-coded exceptions for Onenote) seem likely to break existing scripts.

Until the problems can be reproduced in other apps, it might be best to stick with workarounds.
