It seems mIRC has trouble working with $& if it's in the middle of an /if statement, here's an example section of a script that it bugs on:

Code:
if ($left(%window,1) == @) && (!$window(%window)) && (%x isnum 0-) && (%y isnum 0-) && (%width isnum 0-) && (%height isnum 0-) { $&
      window $+(-d,$iif(%desktop == $true,h),k,$iif(%ontop == $true,o),pB) $+(+d,$iif(%desktop != $true,L)) %window %x %y %width %height }


The above gives the following error, but only if part of the condition is $false:

Quote:
* /if: open bracket not found (line 273, GUI.mrc)


As you can see, it clearly has a matching amount of ( and ).

I'm using $& a lot to keep the horizontal scrollbar from showing so I can edit the code without having to scroll.

Edit:

Here's two aliases that anyone can use to see if it happens to them:

Code:
alias testing {
  if ($false) { $&
    echo -a bug }
}
alias testing2 {
  if ($true) { $&
    echo -a bug }
}


/testing gives the /if error, /testing2 echo's "bug".

Edit 2: mIRC 6.16, XP Pro (No SP2)
