  When I use this option on Windows 11, QAP leaves part of the hotkey instead of erasing it. This problem does not occur if I do not use the option Input from a menu
  
  My Snippet
  
  

  Code:

  {Menu:
Numer konta ~|
Account number 1 ~00 0000 0000 3333 1111 1111 0000|
Account number 2 ~88 9999 2222 4444 6666 5555 7777
}

  
  
  I recorded a short movie with this problem

  Hi,
  
  Have you tired disabling the "Omit the ending character..."?

  Yes, unfortunately no change

  OK. I'll look at it when I'm back from vacation.

  I tried to reproduce this issue and was not able. Using the same snippet and hotstring, the trigger characters were all removed as expected.
  
  I reviewed my code and can't see why this would occur only when the snippet includes a {Menu...} placeholder. When the menu is displayed, the trigger has already been removed. Also, you have to know that the processing of the hotstring (removing the trigger and launching the favorite) is done by the AHK engine (used to run QAP), not by QAP itself. I could not modify how the trigger is removed.
  
  What editor are you using? Does the issue occur only in this editor?
  
  Not sure it will change something but you could try is to increase the first delay before executing the snippet: in "Options, Various Advanced Options" increase the value for "Delay (in ms) during snippet execution". Try 100 ms instead of the default 40 ms.

  The problem I have described occurs only in Notepad of Windows 11. In other notepads or editors such as for example Notepad++, Notepad3, Atlantis Word Processor this problem does not occur. From what I've been able to find on the AHK forum, it's a problem with the latest Notepad update in Windows 11.

  Yes, there are also issues reported with the use of hotstrings. Let's monitor the AHK forum to see if a solution is found at some point.
  
  If you are not in love with the new Notepad UWP (Universal Windows Platform), this page shows how to revert to the legacy Notepad:

  (You could still use the new Notepad using a shortcut or QAP favorite).
