Text Expander issue

Hello Marko

Sorry to do this to you but I think that the last change you made (to fix multi line commands in the Text Expander) may have altered the way the Send command works when there are multi line Send instructions.

In the previous version if one had a Text Expander shortcut such as

+++++++++++++++++
String - ys
Type - Send
Substitute

With kind regards
/Yours sincerely

Trigger immediately checked
++++++++++++++++

as soon as one typed "ys" a drop down menu would appear with two lines showing:

1. With kind regards
2. Yours sincerely

Then, when one selected one of the two options the string "ys" would be deleted and the substitute text would be inserted.

In the latest version of FastKeys this behaviour seems to have altered slightly - the string is effectively deleted twice.

Now, as soon as the string "ys" is typed it is immediately deleted before the drop down menu appears. Then, when one selects one of the two options in the drop down menu FastKeys attempts to delete the String again by deleting the two preceding characters before inserting the substitute text.

The effect of this is that if one typed "1234 ys" you would end up with "123Yours sincerely" - the 4 and the space having been deleted.

The problem doesn't arise when there are not multi line substitutions.

If possible it would be good to revert to the previous behaviour without damaging the fix you applied to Commands.

I hope this makes sense.

Thank you FastM, this was a nasty bug.

We had to revert to the previous version immediately and will solve the issue after thorough testing is performed.

Thanks Marko

I am beginning to wonder if you ever sleep!

Will revert back until things are fixed.

Should be fixed in Version 2.20.

Hello there Marko.

It is fixed when using a single string. For example: a1 becomes blahblahblah.

But it is not fixed when using a string with a menu, inside a phrase file, like this:

Type: Phrase File

abbreviation: a00
substitute:
blahblahblah
/ahobahoba
/testtestetest

Thank you in advance.
