I already tried doing a clean install with no plugins in case that was somehow causing it. No difference.
I'm creating a trigger which simply carried out a Paste action to insert a defined snippet of text when a certain key combination is pressed. I've had a look in console, and can find various errors resembling the following: 7/18/08 4:55:18 PM Quicksilver[919] *** Assertion failure in -[NSEvent clickCount], /SourceCache/AppKit/AppKit-949.33/AppKit.subproj/NSEvent.m:796 7/18/08 4:55:18 PM Quicksilver[919] Invalid message sent to event "NSEvent: type=KeyDown loc=(0,461) time=21970.5 flags=0x60103 win=0x0 winNum=4660 ctxt=0x17bbb chars="" unmodchars="S" repeat=0 keyCode=1" 7/18/08 4:55:18 PM [0x0-0x76076].com.blacktree.Quicksilver 2008-07-18 16:55:18.869 Quicksilver[919:10b] *** Assertion failure in -[NSEvent clickCount], /SourceCache/AppKit/AppKit-949.33/AppKit.subproj/NSEvent.m:796 7/18/08 4:55:18 PM [0x0-0x76076].com.blacktree.Quicksilver 2008-07-18 16:55:18.870 Quicksilver[919:10b] Invalid message sent to event "NSEvent: type=KeyDown loc=(0,461) time=21970.5 flags=0x60103 win=0x0 winNum=4660 ctxt=0x17bbb chars="" unmodchars="S" repeat=0 keyCode=1" This is all Greek to me...
