1.Some keyword in pyautogui library does not works , keyword like 'pyautogui.key down', 'pyautogui.typewrite','pyautogui.Get Windows With Title',When using pabot to run auto cases in parallel to do GUI auto test. 1)My auto cases are writed in RF 2)Run auto cases parallel with command "pabot --processes 8 --outputdir C:/TestResult C:/suitefolder" issue: case failed, keyword such as 'pyautogui.key down', 'pyautogui.typewrite','pyautogui.Get Windows With Title' execution fail. But it can works without pabot, such as use command "robot C:/suitefolder/admin.robot" to run auto case, and keyword 'pyautogui.key down' can works well.

I think the processes were not isolated when use keyword in pyautogui library, resulting in confusion between processes and case execution failure. When using the pyautogui library, for example, when downloading a file, a window to save the file pops up. This window is not isolated from each process before, which causes other cases to read the window opened by the current testcase. The processes are disordered, and the case execution fails. But how to realize the isolation of pop-up windows between various processes?
