[wsjt-devel] Tx5 Blank Standard Message

[Ed Wilson via wsjt-devel]

I have been testing WSJT-X rc2 on FT8 over the past few days and noted that it has the same defect that I reported earlier of the Tx5 line in the Standard Messages seemingly randomly showing-up and transmitting blank. I built r7935 yesterday and noted today that the same issue continues to exist. I believe that I have found a condition (not necessarily the only one) that results in a blank line as follows:
I was working a weak station with Auto Sequence and Call 1st enabled. I sent him his report several times but received no decoded response. I then gave up, hit Halt Tx, and pressed F4 to clear the messages. I monitored for several 15 second periods and then suddenly copied a decode from this station of RRR. To respond to him, I double-clicked the RRR line which populated the Standard Messages with his call but left Tx5 (73) blank. I did not notice this at first and transmitted a blank line instead of a 73. When I did notice, I sent a macro of RRR TU 73 and he replied with the standard 73 line.
I trust that I have provided sufficient information to troubleshoot this issue. Ed, K0KC

This patch fixes that problem....autoseq really opened a bag of worms which Bill is working on making it more robust.This one is an edge case that Bill may want to look at.

Same thing has happened here numerous times over numerous versions. I
found by shutting off the Automatic system I'm able to from a macro
insert a 73 message. Of course, all this takes time, after the other
station has sent RRR - pia at any rate.
