Keyclone - Suddenly stops passing keys/pip

Hey Keyclone Rockstar!

Since I upgraded keyclone I've noticed a big bug that is driving me nuts. It may or may not be related to the upgrade.

Basically Keyclone flat out stops processing keystrokes. It doesn't crash nor does the app become unresponsive, it simply stops passing keystrokes. I'll be in the middle of something intensive like BGing. I'm not using Synergy and all the toons are on 1 system. The pause key isn't pressed either.

The only thing I can do is restart keyclone. But as I'm using PiP, I need to close and restart all my wows :p Speaking of which, there should be a way to restart keyclone and have it automatically attach to pip maximized windows so you don't need to close all your wows and restart :)

Cheers!

XP/Vista?

I've been having a similar problem:

i'm running KC on an XP machine which is running 1 window, It's connected to KC on my Vista machine which is running 4 windows.

Every so often the Vista machine will stop recieving keystrokes from the XP machine and will not pass keystrokes between the 4 windows on the Vista machine, not be able to have broadcasting paused/unpaused etc.

It's as though it's stopped responsing completely as the keyclone window becomes greyed-out and cannot be closed/minimised/moved, the only way to close it is through the task manager (which still says Keyclone is "running").

I'm using the 1.8f release on both machines.

EDIT: accidentally posted too soon...

Just for the record, I've run into this same exact problem. It doesn't show "program not responding" or anything like that in the window. I get "program not responding" sometimes and just have to restart Keyclone to get it functioning again. The same with this problem, just restarting Keyclone fixes it. But like the description shows above, I've seen this in battlegrounds where all of a sudden it doesn't work any more. I'm on different computers and it can continue working fine for a few hours and then the next day, this happens. I've not seen it often, just maybe two or three times.

I've seen the runaway characters more often where it will pass a keystroke that it shouldn't have passed about twice per day. And to answer again, because I'm sure it is thought about, I only use the Arrow keys for movement in WoW, I don't use wsdf or anything else. And those keys are listed in my do-not-pass list. And no, I didn't press SHIFT, CTRL or ALT when I press UP ARROW on my main when it happened. I can absolutely confirm that this problem occurs across multiple machines and it occurs more often when you have two mains that can send keystrokes. And no, I'm not running out of memory (at least I don't think so) because each of my machines has at least 2gb of ram and they are all duo core machines running Windows Vista.
