Workflow Opens Multiple Versions of App

[sots]

Hi there.  I am scratching my head over a simple workflow I made to open a Fluid-created app via either a hotkey or keyword.  My preference is to invoke the workflow via hotkey, as it is faster than typing a keyword.  However, the workflow oddly produces a different result depending on how it is invoked.  I should also add that the app in question (Gmail) is already open, so the workflow really functions as a quick way to make Gmail the active app.  Here's the funky behavior:

 

-  Invoke via Keyword: works as expected, i.e., makes Gmail the active app

-  Invoke via Hotkey: opens a duplicate version of the already-running Gmail app which is not logged into Gmail.  Obviously, this is of no use.

 

Lastly, I've attached a screenshot of the workflow.

 

Any ideas?  Many thanks!

Would this not be much more simply achieved by connecting your keyword and hotkey to an Automation Task set to Open Apps?

Thanks for your suggestion, Stephen, which I tried.  Alas, no joy, as your suggested workflow yields the same odd behavior, i.e., opens another instance of my Gmail app when activated via hotkey.  

 

Thanks again,

Could you change the hotkey to something else and try again?

TY for the suggestion.  I tried that, too.  Still no joy…
