Question: I use an Action Chain that runs upon "FanFicFare download finished" with the event manager. I think the event was included in the FFF plugin itself.

It uses a selection modifier to grab the newly-downloaded fanfics and then calls a chain which does several single-field edits (mostly template'd) as well as runs the comments cleaner.

However, if I alt-tab out of the window at any point after using FFF to confirm library update, there's some 50% chance that the Calibre UI will become unusable— I just get the error sound when clicking anything as though it's stuck under an invisible dialog. This doesn't happen if I remove the event, and I can't get it to trigger by alt+tabbing while manually running the chains (either the 'cleanup: fanfiction' or the 'FanFicFare Download' one with the selection modifier).

Has anyone else had issues like this?
