crazy script behaviour, clipboard vowel mutation, umlaut Topic is solved

[Jovannb]

Hi,

I tried to understand an issue AHK seems to have with Win10 2004.
My Code

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance force
#Persistent

Teststring := "So schön wie bzw. ähnlich wie ein Ölfaß"

::#111::
clipboard := Teststring
return

::#222::
send, %teststring% {enter 1}
sendinput, %teststring% {enter 1}
return

When i start that script first time:
#111 -> gives that to my clipboard "So sch?n wie bzw. ?hnlich wie ein ?lfa?"
#222 -> gives me that thext "So sch?n wie bzw. ?hnlich wie ein ?lfa?" twice same for send and sendinput

then, I go to system tray and "reload this script" then, it gives me
#111 ->gives that to my clipboard "So schön wie bzw. ähnlich wie ein Ölfaß"
#222 -> gives me that thext "So schön wie bzw. ähnlich wie ein Ölfaß" twice same for send and sendinput

How about that, is that reproducable on other systems too ?
Tried with AHK 1.1.33.01-32bit ansi.

Is the script file itself in Unicode with BOM?

[Jovannb]

it is ANSI encoded, as all my other scripts t0o .. see screenhot enclosed

Then use UTF-8 with BOM like it is recommended: https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/FAQ.htm#nonascii

thank you very much, that's the solution!
