Clipboard History Switcher not scrolling to selection

Questions & Suggestions
1

I use the Clipboard History Switcher daily.
And now I just noticed that when using the arrow keys to scroll the list, it does not scroll to the item selected.
I seem to remember it did that before.
See this video: https://d.pr/v/Q2BsQM

Has anybody else noticed this

macOS 15.5 (24F74)
KM 11.0.4

When you notice it not working, check the window state: Is it frontmost? The easiest way to tell is whether the window control buttons are colored or gray. I've had it happen where the switcher opens in the background at times, though I can't figure out why. When that's the case, the arrows won't work until you make that window frontmost.

I'm getting the same behaviour (macOS 15.4.1; KM v11.0.4). I don't know if it used to or not though because I don't heavily use the clipboard switchers, and when I do use them, I tend to use the cursor.

It must be or the selection highlight wouldn't be visible.

Whoops, my bad—I mismatched the video, and didn't catch it was just scrolling out past the bottom of the window. I'm seeing the same thing here (latest macOS15 + KM 11.0.4); I think this is a new issue in 11.04 — @peternlewis can you replicate?

Scrolling is working here on Mojave 10.146 + KM 11.0.4

Oddly, it works on my laptop, but not my desktop. Both are Sequoia 15.5 and Keyboard Maestro 11.0.4.

It's a weird consequence of the Apple change to the default for clipToBounds. Basically, Keyboard Maestro scrolls to the new location if the selection has no visible area. But when clipToBounds is disabled (as happens in the Keyboard Maestro compiled with the new SDK), then the visible area includes the are on the screen that is miles off the area of the selected item, cuz why wouldn't it.

Fixed for the next version.
