BUG: BFS.Input.SendKeyUp is not releasing keys.

I'm working with a program where I need to send to the key combination CTRL+B but sometimes the key press isn't being registered. So I tried using

Code
Copy
Select All

BFS.Input.SendKeyDown("^({VK_66})");
BFS.General.ThreadWait(25);
BFS.Input.SendKeyUp("^({VK_66})");

But the SendKeyUp isn't registering.

I have also tried to do

Code
Copy
Select All

while(!BFS.Input.SendKeys("^({VK_66})")) {
   BFS.General.ThreadWait(25)
}

but that doesn't work because SendKeys always returns true in my experience.

Any insight here would be greatly appreciated.

We'll test this out here and see what we can find out

Thanks!

Could you try increasing the ThreadWait to 100ms? We've run into issues in the past where the keys were being pressed too quickly and weren't being picked up by the application that was waiting for them.

I've tried increasing the wait to 100ms in both cases but the CTRL+B release command is never sent. And in the while loop the key always reports that it was sent even though the application doesn't receive it.

Which application is receiving the keystroke? Just wondering if it's something we can test here.
