I'm running the latest version of Quicksilver 2.4.3 (4042).

Since an update within the last few months (sorry I can't be more specific) an Open trigger for an application usually has to be pressed twice in order to activate it.  I haven't been able to isolate what conditions cause it to happen but it happens most of the time.

I believe that usually the first press is being sent to the target application.  I've got a trigger on F1 to "Open iTerm".  The first press of F1 will seem to do nothing and the second will actually switch to my iTerm window.  If I had "cat -tev" already running in that window then when it switches I see "^[OP", which is what F1 would generate if there were no trigger.  I'll attach screenshots.

I have already tried deleting all my triggers, quitting Quicksilver, removing Quicksilver from login items, and rebooting.

Am I the only one?  Thanks for any suggestions.

An issue with application triggers and execute on press/release should have been fixed in Quicksilver 2.5.1. Please try downloading the latest version and seeing if things now work.

Thanks
