I just updated F25 to the current version, 25.4.1.163 (OsX 11.11.6)
Now FinaleScript will no longer interpret the "cmd" keystroke in my scripts (press/hit/strike...) If the script line looks something like this: press command "A" (select all), FinaleScript now performs press "A"
I've tried press, hit, strike and also cmd and command. Same result. Anyone else experienced this?

There are other new buggy behaviours in FinaleScript, too. I've worked around them with a mixture of Keyboard Maestro macros and a few small FinaleScripts.

I just updated F25 to the current version, 25.4.1.163 (OsX 11.11.6)
Updated from what? In my experience, I had to rewrite all my scripts anew when I updated from F2014x.

Every single upgrade since 3.0.6 (1995)
My current scripts are all written natively in F25, and in this latest update all "cmd" keystrokes in scripts simply do not work. The "type raw" command has slowed down so that a single keystroke takes 5-10 seconds to execute.
There may be even more errors in the FinaleScript performance, but I have transferred most needs into Keyboard Maestro by now.

I tried a script which is simply

press ctrl a

and not only does it fail to select all, the play button in the FinaleScript palette then alternates between play and pause until put out of its misery. I also notice that the palette doesn't hightlight the selected script name as it should.

However

select all

appears to work.
