interface is not dismissed after opening quicksilver

[lloyd]

Quicksilver is running and I want to adjust its preferences. I bring up the interface with my hotkey, and type qs, and quicksilver appears in the first pane. The default action is Open, so I hit return. I get the dismissal animation (I'm using the Bezel interface - it fades out and expands rapidly), but the interface reappears instantly at the end of the animation. I can hit escape to dismiss it, but I'm sure it used to disappear normally like for all other catalog items. It also disappears normally if I select some other action in the second pane, like "Reveal in Finder". If I'm right and its non-dismissal is not normal behaviour, do you know what could have caused it and how to undo it?  Thank you.

If you bring Quicksilver up in its own first pane, and then run the Open action on it, opening itself again is exactly what you just told it to do. If you want to adjust the preferences, use your hotkey to activate Quicksilver and then press ⌘, to open its preferences. Note that the key combo ⌘, is the standard one to open the preferences of any application in OS X.

I guess that makes sense! I think, though, that before I updated to the new version, I used to redundantly perform the action "open quicksilver" as the first step of adjusting preferences, and it brought the Quicksilver menu to the menubar while dismissing the interface.

There’s a preference (under Extras) to control what happens when you run Open on a running application, so maybe you messed with that at some point. Note that the menubar is only available if you have the Dock icon visible, but the ⌘, keystroke always works.
