losing shell focus when triggering typing macros

when in ssh shell, and trigger a typing macro it triggers and runs the typing but then I lose focus of the shell, so If I press enter to submit what the macro typed, it types it again.

This didn't happen last week, but has after the past couple updates.

Hello,

Thank you for reporting this and for including the version details.

We've been able to link this to a known issue in the recent 2026.3 builds. After you interact with a button or menu in an SSH session, keyboard focus isn't returned to the terminal. That's why pressing Enter re-runs the macro instead of submitting the command: the Enter key goes to the macro control that still has focus. Our development team is already working on it.
Until a fix is released, any of these should help:

  1. After the macro runs, click once inside the SSH terminal before pressing Enter.
  2. Add a line break at the end of the macro text so the command is submitted automatically, with no Enter needed.
  3. If this seriously affects your daily work, you can go back to the latest 2026.2 version until the fix is available.


For reference, here's our guide on typing macros in SSH sessions:
