CW messages looping

[aa5sh]

Yesterday I was trying to work SV1GA/A on 17M CW like 10,000 other operators. I had a weird occurance 3 times where I would be sending my call clicking on a CW macro button I had defined and all of the sudden it would just be sending my callsign continously.

For my rig control to my Yaesu FTDX-101D I start rigctld in a terminal window before starting QLog so typically I share my rig connection with QLog and WSJT-X using the hamlib rigctl rig. When the looping would occur I would have to kill rigctld to make it stop, after first pressing the breakin button on my rig to stop the transmissions. I'm not sure where the loop is occuring. I was thinking at the time it may have been caused by me hitting the Macro with a double click or something. But I turned break-in on my rig this morning and tried to duplicate it and I couldn't.

I am not sure if the problem may be a bug in QLog or HamLib. I don't remember if QLog was showing an error message or not when it happened, I think the rig may have disconnected and it was still sending but I am not 100%. I will try and pay closer attention if it happens again. I was tuning up and down while in split when I was sending my call, moving around in the mess until I was fortunate enough to get through.
