My macro keeps getting truncated

So, been messing around with a PB and decided to try these two macros:

/macro Nova "powexectoggleon Bright Nova$$gototrayalt 9"
(switches to nova form and sets my second tray to tray 9)

and

/macro Human1 "powexectoggleoff Bright Nova$$gototrayalt 2$$powexecname Shining Shield"
(takes me back to human, sets my second tray to tray 2, and turns on my Shining Shield toggle)

For some reason, when I log in, the second macro always seems to have been truncated such that the last item "$$powexecname Shining Shield" is missing. I can go back and add it again, and it works, but multiple times now it's lost that part again after I've logged off and back in.

Anybody know what's going on?

Try moving the gototrayalt in the second bind to the end.

That seems to have fixed it. Anyone know why this happens?

Ah, gototray needs to be last? Not sure why but it's pretty much been that way, at least since I've made a Kheldian a few years back.

By the way, I recommend using powexec_toggleon vs. powexec_name for turning on your shield - on any of the form binds, really - to help prevent issues with double-taps, etc.
