[NOT A BUG] Gibberish in RunCommand

Prerequisites (not sure if the below can be reproduced by using other prerequisites, but these are mine):
1) shotcap
2) ffmpeg
3) gifsicle

Test skin (capturing an 180 frames max GIF of its area when left clicking and the border turns opaque yellow):Result (parse error towards the end of the measure value due to gibberish after the command):Parse error, at least 3 arguments were expected, only 1 given in string ':\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /U /C shotcap -f "C:\Users\[User]\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Test\Screenshot.jpg" -r 919,759,100,100 -format jpg -quality 70 -p -repeat 0.04 180 && ffmpeg -y -i "C:\Users\[User]\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Test\Screenshot_%03d.jpg" -vf "fps=25,split[s0][s1];[s0]palettegen=max_colors=32[p];[s1][p]paletteuse=dither=bayer" -loop 0 "C:\Users\[User]\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Test\Animation.gif" && gifsicle -O3 --lossy=35 -o "C:\Users\[User]\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Test\Animation Lossy Compressed.gif" "C:\Users\[User]\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Test\Animation.gif" && del /A /F "C:\Users\[User]\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Test\Screenshot_*.jpg" "C:\Users\[User]\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Test\Animation.gif"er_Core11Temp:0@֩W?N'


Notes:
- first I thought my custom tooltip skins were the cause, as the gibberish can return bang parts and such and get longer than above, but they're not
- then I thought the prerequisites were the cause, but ffmpeg and gifsicle are beyond doubt and shotcap is developed by nstechbytes on the forum
- then I thought the output type was the cause, but the issue happens for other output types in the RunCommand measure
- then I thought the multi command, the && or the time taken to complete were the cause, but I don't have an answer to that yet
- then I thought maybe it was the Rainmeter test build I'm using now (4.5.22.3833), but this happens with previous stable Rainmeter versions
- the above is somewhat similar to the issue from NightHawkSLO's Mouse plugin, where one gets gibberish on occasion in the log
