Script sometimes fails to reload, and cannot be launched from another script

[davidhfo]

Sometimes when the hotkey's tray icon menu option for reloading the script is clicked, the script fails to reload. It will just close but not restart.

I know that doesn't say much, but if there's data I can get to help debug, let me know.

Possibly related:
Using a hotkey in a script to load another script via
Run, bash -c '/path-to-app/ahk_x11-1.0.1-x86_64.AppImage "/path-to-script/script.ahk"'
does not work.

But using the same hotkey to instead do something like Run, bash -c kate works just fine.

The following from a terminal also works fine:
/path-to-app/ahk_x11-1.0.1-x86_64.AppImage "/path-to-script/script.ahk"

Minor issue for me personally, because I don't reload often, and can easily start it up again from the command line.

This isn't an issue I experienced in 0.5.1.

this was actually due to the other issue of yours: The window flashing set the focus to the non-existing window ID 0 and then any subsequent startups of ahk_x11 immediately crashed because they couldn't register hotkeys on 0.

Apart from the solution in #51, I also fixed this by redirecting 0-grabs to the root window instead.
