Strangely I experienced exactly the opposite:
problems with the previous builds, which were introduced fairly
recently btw, are gone now with 4.5.3

1) right-click a certain button in the bar crashed PP
2) bring-up context menu by pressing apps key and invoke the PP's item
in my file manager crashed PP

More details: both commands were triggering scripts.

1) buttons with 'not' triggering scripts were OK. Actually all they
show some windows, like, *Menu, *Bar, *Vdesk etc. And left-click of
the problematic button worked OK too, whose command was also script
trigger, however, it contains configure.importCL() which reimport the
bar's CL (:yes, this bar is imported one)

2) after restart PP, this problem gone from then on until reboot.

In retrospect, these seem to have been related with the change of
routine of giving back focus to the previous window, especially with
1) (:I always use Window's built-in X-Mouse feature and my bar has
transparent background).

So, the following improvement may be the cure of my problems:

- improved ability of PowerPro to avoid locking up if another window
freezes and added option to advanced|setup|limits to control abort time
. let me know if this causes strange things on active bar (its seems
ok in my tests so far)

I suggest the users who are currently experiencing problems to try the
usual trick of updating the PCF file by:

pproconf -> Setup -> Advanced setup -> Limits
Then, close it by pressing OK -> OK.

I don't know if it'll do any real change to .pcf, no harm either anyway.
