Hang

Reproducibility:

Sometimes, but always evenutally

Summary

When a script calls window.get_active_title(), autokey sometime hangs forever thereafter.

Steps to Reproduce

• Make a script with the following content, and assign a phrase:

  title = window.get_active_title()
  keyboard.send_keys("didn't hang")

Expected Results

Every invocation of script should enter "didn't hang".

Actual Results

After a small number of attempts, the phrase will not be substituted and autokey will stop responding to phrases. When running with -l, the last debug is:

 2017-06-30 18:57:40,930 DEBUG - iomediator - Send via event interface

Removing the window.get_active_title() call fixes the issue.
