My apologies, I missed adding that the Operating System was Windows 7 
Professional with SP1 (64bit).

Does this happen every time, or just sometimes?  Does it happen with other 
plugins/shortcuts, or just the PuTTY plugin?  This happens to me sometimes 
(probably 1/100), but I've always figured it was a Launchy bug (and probably 
is).

Occurence:
Maybe not everytime, but a majority of the time at least.  *Much* more than 
1/100.

Additional Plugins:
Calcy
Controly
GCalc
PuTTY
Runner
Verby
Weby

Nothing else I do in Launchy behaves this way, and I use it to launch almost 
everything.  It seems to be isolated to just PuTTY sessions, for me at least.

Additionally, it doesn't seem just isolated to my 1 computer.  It happens on 
all of my PCs.  All run various versions of Windows 7 64bit.

I can reproduce this with the 'Runner' plugin as well using the 'cmd' custom 
command.  If I uncheck "Hide Launchy when it loses focus" in the options, I can 
no longer reproduce the issue with either plugin.  I also validated that the 
source for launching an application matches the built-in plugins.

Therefore, this seems to be a bug with Launchy itself.  I would raise this on 
the sf.net page, provided you can also reproduce this with Runner.  There is 
probably some race condition between hiding the window after launching a 
command and hiding it because it lost focus when cmd/putty started.

I encounter this under Windows XP SP3, not with the putty plugin, but just by 
opening putty by hitting "p" (it autodetects that I want Putty, since it 
accounts for half of the times I open launchy).

Launchy stays open about 4 out of 5 times I do this. I haven't noticed this 
happen with any other programme.

seems like this is still and issue. i am surprised that this has not been 
addressed.

Please see comment #5 
(https://code.google.com/p/putty-launchy-plugin/issues/detail?id=39#c5).

This is in fact a Launchy bug and occurs with other plugins as well, not a bug 
in the plugin unfortunately.  As a workaround, I would reccomend to set the 
"Hide Launchy when it loses focus" Launchy option.
