Win modifier and sending Unicode Topic is solved

[cordylus]

Let's take "#a::Send ä" as an example. It works in some windows, but doesn't work in Firefox. Yet if I release Win button fast and it is the first captured hotkey since the start of the script, it fires. Also it works if what I'm sending is not Unicode or if I use Alt instead of Win.

I'm attaching key press logs. AHK 1.1.26.01, Windows XP SP3.

Spoiler

Debugging was done using this JavaScript in the browser's web console:
document.body.onkeyup = document.body.onkeydown = document.body.onkeypress = (e) => console.log(e.type, e.key);

#a::Send ä

First keypress if release Win fast, works:
keydown OS
keyup OS
keyup a
keydown ä
keypress ä
keyup

First keypress if hold Win, doesn't work:
keydown OS
keyup a
keydown ä
keypress ä
keyup
keydown Control
keyup Control
keyup OS
keyup OS

Subsequent keypresses, doesn't work:
keydown OS
keyup a
keydown ä
keypress ä
keyup
keyup OS

#b::Send ä

First keypress if release Win fast, works:
keydown OS
keydown Control
keyup Control
keyup OS
keydown ä
keypress ä
keyup

First keypress if hold Win and subsequent keypresses, doesn't work:
keydown OS
keydown ä
keypress ä
keyup
keydown Control
keyup Control
keyup OS

Normal operation:

!a::Send ä, the same output with !a::Send z and #a::Send z, works in every case:

First keypress if release Alt fast:
keydown Alt
keyup a
keyup Alt
keydown ä
keypress ä
keyup

First keypress if hold Alt:
keydown Alt
keyup a
keydown Control
keyup Control
keyup Alt
keydown ä
keypress ä
keyup
keyup Alt

Subsequent keypresses:
keydown Alt
keydown Control
keyup Control
keyup Alt
keydown ä
keypress ä
keyup
keydown Control
keydown Alt
keyup Control
keyup a
keyup Alt

After inspecting them, I've managed to come up with a workaround, "#a::Send {LWin up}ä". Still, I think this is a bug and should be fixed.

Fixed in v1.1.27.00.
