Well, as you stated, we cleary disagree about the current behavior being correct or not.
The behavior of /timer -p makes sense in open systems like this.
The current behavior of /timer -p is useful for mIRC's primary purpose
For me, there are many more cases where a real pause of the timer is expected, it's not just about being useful, it's about expectations.
In fact I still can't find an example (apart from your /play's one) were the current behavior could be used/useful or even, should be expected.
I also bet that if we were to make a list of cases for each behavior, we would have, as I said, many more cases where a real pause is expected.
That's OK, but let's just recognize that it's not a bug, it's just not the correct tool for what you want to do.
A bug is something that isn't working as expected, If Khaled states it's not a bug, fine, I'll say it's not the correct tool for what I want to do
