Restart Fail: "Could not close the previous instance of this script. Keep waiting?"

[JamoCA]

Occasionally Lintalist will start acting weird and stop auto-pasting. I have to then resort to pressing ALT+ENTER to copy the snippet or manually restart. If I choose "Reload Bundles (restarts Lintalist)", nothing happens. When I click on the AHK file to restart Lintalist, I get a message that states "Could not close the previous instance of this script. Keep waiting". I am then required to open Task Manager and manually kill the process in order to restart and auto-paste. (Could this be due to using the new admin-mode flag?)

Is this a known bug? If not, is there anything I can do to collect and provide more info?

I would be useful to find the cause of the weird behaviour of course. If you spot a pattern do let me know, perhaps a combination of plugins or specific snippet code is the cause - it may be "stuck" in a loop somewhere of doesn't free up memory causing the program to act peculiar (I haven't experienced this in a very long time myself).

If the script is running as administrator and the file manager where you double click lintalist.ahk isn't also running as administrator that will indeed trigger the "Could not close..." warning. A non-admin script that tries to reload an Admin script usually does that - the script is launched as "user" at that point so it doesn't "know" it should be admin yet (my guess).

When Lintalist "acts weird" does:

1. The "Exit Program Hotkey" work, default ctrl+win+q (^#q) - see configuration "ExitProgramHotkey" - once it is closed you should be able to start Lintalist.ahk again.
2. Does the Tray menu, Exit option which also closes Lintalist work?

v1.9.8.4 now uses an external script to close / restart Lintalist - hopefully that resolves it? Related to #127 (comment)
