Subject: Slouken: Per-Character Macro Dataloss
   It seems the problem stems from having two macros with the same the macro id number among the macros-cache.txt files. Global macros overwrite (causing deletion of) any per-character macros with the same id number.

Here are steps to have a per-character macro be accidently deleted:

0) Create two characters on the same server with no global macros and no character-specific macros. (May or may not matter whether they are on same servers, these are just my testing conditions.)

1) Log on Char1 and make a character-specific macro.

2) Log off char1. In WTF/Account/ACCOUNTNAME/Server/Char1/macros-cache.txt you see something like:

MACRO 1 "macro1" Ability_Ambush
/s hello
END

3) Log on Char2 and create a global macro.

4) Log off Char2. In In WTF/Account/ACCOUNTNAME/macros-cache.txt you see something like:

MACRO 1 "macro2" Ability_Ambush
/s hi
END

5) Log on Char1 again. The global macro (macro2) is there but the per-character macro (macro1) is gone.
