I looked at the source, and I found the problematic line, but alas, I have not had a chance to read the AHK documentation just yet due to being at work, though I wanted to report the issue.

Texter has worked great for me so far in Win7. The bug I encounter happens when I make a Remote Desktop connection or when I switch to one that is already open.

What happens is that as soon as I mouse over the window of the remote machine (whatever is actually on the screen of the remote machine, not the client window gui), I get an error message popup from Texter, and Texter stops working, but does not exit until I tell it to exit.

The error message is as follows:

Error: The following variable name contains an illegal character:
"not foundKeys"

The current thread will exit.

Line#
---> 174: Bank := %Bank%

Looking at the code, line 174 of Releases\0.6\texter.ahk seems to be the culprit. Why this is triggered when mousing into the Remote Desktop is beyond me, and this may also happen on WinXP; unfortunately I don't have an XP machine that I can test with.
