Since Firefox version 74.0, the WinWait function from AutoHotKey does not work anymore. There was no problem in Firefox 73.x. Any Idea?
Hi there... I use a AutHotKey script that opens a Firefox window, then waits for it, maximizes it, and then performs some actions. The WinWait function does not work anymore immediately after the Firefox upgrade from version 73.x to 74.0 AutoHotket script extract:
========================
run, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:EditWatchlist/raw, , max Winwait, Edit raw watchlist - Wikipedia - Mozilla Firefox Sleep, 2000 ; WinMaximize, Edit raw watchlist - Wikipedia - Mozilla Firefox MouseClick, left, 765, 676 clipboard = Send ^a ; Send ^c ; ClipWait ;
========================
The current title looks the same, but WinWait function never completes. Anyone any idea? TIA

In version 73.0.1 and earlier, there are two minus signs in the wintitle:
"Edit raw watchlist - Wikipedia - Mozilla Firefox"
In version 74.0, there is a minus sign (hex 20) and an en-dash (hex 96) in the wintitle:
"Edit raw watchlist - Wikipedia – Mozilla Firefox"
Strings were copied with tasklist /v.

As of version 76.0.1 the en-dash was replaced with a minus sign again.
Thank you!
