I have put a bunch of keyboard shortcuts like CTRL-C, V, A, J and the like on mouse keys as macros. I use them for formatting text in FGU. It just saves me time as I don't have to move my hand from the mouse. This worked fine up till a few weeks ago.
Now when I try to copy or paste or whichever the first few times I press the key, it won't work. If I continue to press it multiple times it will eventually work, but I may get multiple inputs. (Multiple pastes etc). Initially I thought maybe to was a key press delay issue, so I increased the delay and also tried removing any delay. Neither made a difference. I thought maybe it was a mouse issue (Swiftpoint) so I tried the macro keys on my Keyboard (Logitech G500) which shows the same behavior.
These macros worked fine a few weeks ago, unfortunately I'm not sure which version it changed in. They also work fine in any other program, just not FGU. So I suspect something changed, but have no clue what. It appears as if something is registering as the hot key bar changes, I assume with the ctrl key presses, when I use the macro. Key press combos work fine in FGU, CTRL-C etc.
