Typing Macro bug in SSH
Hello.
New to RDM and currently in Teams trial period.
I have a SSH Terminal to our firewall appliance which occasionally needs a kick by running four commands a, b, c and d.
I've made a Typing Macro in the same folder so I can right-click and "Execute in Current Tab":
a{DELAY}
b{DELAY}
c{DELAY}
d{DELAY}
When executed in the terminal, this is behaving as:
a{ENTER}{ENTER}
b{ENTER}{ENTER}
c{ENTER}{ENTER}
d{ENTER}{ENTER}
{DELAY}
b{ENTER}{DELAY}
c{ENTER}{DELAY}
e{ENTER}{DELAY}
{ENTER}
I tested and proved this several times before coming to create this topic, including closing and re-opening the SSH terminal session.
However now i've come to take and submit screenshots of the issue, it's behaving exactly as it should!!!
Fortunately i'm only testing with dummy commands a,b,c,d rather than live commands (which stop/restart live daemons on the firewall) because if they commands run in the wrong order, we lose internet access.
Are there any known bugs or issues you're trying to identify in this area?

Hello,
I attempted to reproduce the behavior you described but was not able to recreate the issue on my end so far.
That said, while testing I did encounter a very similar problem where the {DELAY} parameter in a Typing Macro does not appear to behave as expected. Because of this, I’ve opened an internal investigation so our team can review it further.
To help us narrow this down and try to reproduce the exact issue you experienced, could you please provide a bit more information?
- The exact Typing Macro configuration you are using (a screenshot or copy of the macro entry would help)
- Whether the behavior occurs consistently or only intermittently
Even though I’ve opened an investigation regarding the delay behavior, I would still like to reproduce the exact sequence you described to confirm whether it is the same root cause.
Thank you!

Hi Carl
Screenshot of the macro config; no other settings on other tabs are changed.
The problem is intermittent - I just tried it twice and the second time, it went wrong again as described. I had rebooted my PC this morning before trying it.
