Strange, keep me posted if it comes back! ]]> https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/force-old-window-focus-method/?ID=19d83827-3b5c-43eb-b6ce-33e69b40d332#3 Thu, 01 Apr 2021 16:39:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/force-old-window-focus-method/?ID=19d83827-3b5c-43eb-b6ce-33e69b40d332#3 ClipboardFusion Thank you for the reply. I'm not sure what happened, but it seems to have been a temporary problem, or perhaps I had something else running that was conflicting. I wanted to reproduce the error, but after resetting the "old method" setting, the window from which the macro is launched now keeps the focus. I will monitor and report if the problem reoccurs. ]]> https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/force-old-window-focus-method/?ID=19d83827-3b5c-43eb-b6ce-33e69b40d332#2 Thu, 01 Apr 2021 15:59:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/force-old-window-focus-method/?ID=19d83827-3b5c-43eb-b6ce-33e69b40d332#2 ClipboardFusion Hi Alan,

Strange, I can't seem to reproduce this. Are you running the macro using a hotkey, or form the Clipboard Manager Window?

Thanks! ]]> https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/force-old-window-focus-method/?ID=19d83827-3b5c-43eb-b6ce-33e69b40d332 Wed, 31 Mar 2021 13:37:47 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/force-old-window-focus-method/?ID=19d83827-3b5c-43eb-b6ce-33e69b40d332 ClipboardFusion I need to have this setting active to copy text from a window. If the setting isn't active the window loses the focus when the macro is triggered.
It works well with the "old method" override, but am I missing some code to keep the window active when triggering macros? (or maybe I should be asking, what is the new method and how do I use it?)
Is this perhaps related to a fix in the latest update that gives anew macro created window focus? That is now working well, but is there a regression in where there isn't a new macro window that the active window from which the macro was triggered loses the focus. ]]>
