'Find Commands' does not run macros

[Michael Schmid]

Hi all,

it seems that the "Plugins>Utilities>Find Commands (CTRL-L) command  
does not run installed macros, even very simple ones are simply  
ignored. E.g.

macro 'testmacro' {
   print("testmacro running");
}

It makes no difference whether "Close when running" is selected or not.

The macro was installed correctly; e.g. this macro works
   call("ij.IJ.doCommand", "testmacro");

Is there any one who understands the problem?
Maybe IJ.java, when called from the EventQueue, has for some reason  
no access to the static variable ij but uses another set of static  
variables? Some strange multitasking within one application?

I have tried this with:
   Mac OSX 10.4.11, ImageJ 1.43m10, Java 1.5.0_19
   Windows XP, ImageJ 1.42q, Java 1.5.0_09

1.42q uses AWT, 1.43m uses Swing for the "Find Commands" window; the  
problem is the same.

This bug is fixed in the 1.43n daily build.
