Switching from outside app to macro window buggy

[notbono]

Version 1.7.0

I find sometimes when switching from notepad++ to a macro window, that focus is not immediately recognized by the macro window, and that sometimes if I'm trying something like a delete or cut in the macro code, it will affect the lib token instead. Has anyone else noticed this? I just had to reload my campaign from backup because I deleted my lib token (and there's no real way to undelete a token.)

@ accidental token deletion: You should make sure that "Warn When Tokens are Deleted" is checked in Preferences>Interactions>Tokens.

I've noticed some issues as well though. I think it has to do with how MT adds focus to its macro editor. When copying from Notepad++ and then pasting into the MT Macro Editor you have to double click to get focus back into the window. A single click seems like the window is in focus (there is a perceptible "flicker" of the window and a highlight can show), but it's not. I end up accidentally duplicating tokens behind the editor or popping open a "Save Campaign" window when I switch back to MT from Notepad++ and use Ctrl-A (to select all) and overwrite the contents of a macro.

It seems like if you have the Macro Editor frame open it should have primary focus when switching from other applications. It currently does not.

Good point. Normally I do, but during a previous session was testing a macro that copied a lot of tokens, and shut it off for convenience, then forgot to turn it back on.

Recent changes have made the macro window non-modal, which overall has been good, except for this focus oddity.
