"Run When" Window Event Title Problem

Post by jpuziano » Mon Dec 12, 2005 8:50 am

Hi Support,

I recently upgraded from 7.4.007 to 8.0 beta 007 on XP SP2 and noticed a macro that used to work fine was no longer firing.

Under "Run When" and "Advanced Options" I had it set to fire on a Window Event, watching for a particular window title. In this case, the window it watched for was an IE browser window at a certain webpage, the window title began with http://and_a_bunch_more_text.

In any case, all that was left in the field there was the http://, the rest had disappeared. I edited it to be back what it should be, saved it, verified that it was right, it was. The macro worked OK once or twice after that but later stopped again and the same thing, most of the window title in that field had been erased.

Anyone else out there seeing anything like this?

Odd. Just wondering if this has something to do with the new version 8.0 data being added during conversion from v7.x Can you try setting the window title to the correct value, ok it and then exit Macro Scheduler. Then restart and see if the problem persists. If not it would help if you are able to reproduce at will and can describe steps needed for us to reproduce this.
