Hi Gloria,

Can you please update the bug report to clarify that this isn't a new issue, but is present also in 2.2.3?

Also, can you please provide the steps used to set up Keyboard Maestro to test this - I am not familiar with that software so would need instructions on how to set it up to reproduce the bug.

Thanks!

@pjrobertson Done. Here's a screenshot of one of my Keyboard Maestro text expansion macros. I just type in the text string specified at the top & it pastes the text shown at the bottom.

FWIW, there's at least a chance that this is a Keyboard Maestro issue. I use (and recommend!) Espanso for text expansion, and it works fine in the text pane of 2.3.0.

@n8henrie It actually seems to be working consistently now. Hopefully, it stays that way.
