Unclear deletion behavior and control rendering issues

Greetings, Mr. Jean!
I have had a few questions while operating the QCE. I don't know if it's worth creating a separate topic for each, so I'll write them here briefly for now:
1. After selecting to delete 'Delete this history clip', nothing happens in the QCE editor. In the log [Ctrl+P] you can see that the entry has been deleted, but in the editor window everything stays the same and when you try to close it or go to a previous entry, then it asks 'Discard changes'? In the end, the deletion procedure in aggregate takes me 5 mouse clicks:
1. Menu>Clipboard
2. Delete this history clip
3. `Delete this history clip?` — [Yes]
4. [Close]
5. Discard changes? — [Yes]
Is there any way to simplify this task so that I don't have to make so many redundant mouse actions?
2. For some reason I can't delete the clip in the log itself [Ctrl+P']. Only 'Edit' and 'Paste' are available there.

3. By keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+`) the 'Quick paste' window appears, which disappears immediately if you release this key combination. Is this behavior normal or was it planned that the window should not close on its own? It happens randomly, so I can't yet figure out what this behavior depends on.
4. There is some unpredictable behavior of the editor window field when working with a dark theme, when this field can become white or dark again during editing, or partially part of the lines with white background and the rest is dark. This happens, for example, if you select some text in the editor window and delete it with 'Delete' or edit something. Every now and then there is a very fast flickering of the application, as if it is trying to execute some event and it also changes the background color of the editing window.
If I understand correctly, this is something you can't influence and is the behavior of AHK itself.

Thank you CaptainSolo for this feedback.
> 1. After selecting to delete 'Delete this history clip', nothing happens in the QCE editor.
I wondered what to display in the editor after clip deletion. The main purpose of this command is to delete the clip from the History database. This is done correctly. Now, what should be displayed in the editor after the deletion? I choose to keep the current content and let user decide. You would prefer if the editor was emptied?

This can be done. Added to the wishlist:

This is the normal behavior. In this hotkey, the ` is meant to be repeated until you reach the clip you want to paste. See this video:

I'll need more time to investigate this. I don't use dark theme regularly and did not notice this issue yet. -

Perhaps an optional pop-up notification that disappears after a second and move to the previous one from a relatively deleted record?

Oh! Thank you!

Got you. I just didn’t immediately realize that it was for a quick insert and tried to use the search and at that moment the window disappeared. Accepted.

That would be great. I can record some videos where you can see what happens with the editing window. This problem has been around for a relatively long time, I just decided to write only now about it. -

No need. I can reproduce the issue. Working on this now.

Actually, the "Clip deleted" popup disappear after 1.5 second. Is this what you meant?
About the "Discard change" popup, I'm looking a a way to avoid it. After deletion, QCE would empty the Clipboard, empty the editor and be ready for new content without popup message. -

Ok!

Yeah, that's what I meant. I wasn't paying attention - my fault. This behavior already exists, but maybe it makes sense to also update the edit field itself too?

I think this is exactly the kind of behavior that would make perfect sense. -

I get this error after deleting an entry [Delete this history clip]:

Works like a charm if you use [Ctrl+C] then open QCE window! Thank you Jean!
But if you minimize window and then try open it with [Shift+Win+V] or [Ctrl+MMB] then the white background issue in edit field is back. -

Hi,
> I get this error after deleting an entry [Delete this history clip]:
I think I found the cause of that. If not, I added diagnostic code that will help to understand what's happening. This will be in the next release.
I'll work on the dark theme issu later. -

Got it. It will be fixed in the next release.
There may be other situations when dark colors are lost. Please let me know if you find some.
