Maybe you should tell those users to report their issues, because as it stands, you're the first person to make such a claim, and I cannot reproduce this. I haven't seen anyone else chime in either. Reporting a bug is usually more effective when the actual bug is consistently reproducible across multiple machines. Certainly you aren't actually saying: "this bug causes my user settings to randomly change at some arbitrary time without any user intervention". That's far beyond unlikely. Software does not randomly mutate on its own, unless there is some data/program corruption involved, which would be specific to your machine. The far more likely scenario is that you had enabled logging in the status window somehow, either knowingly or unknowingly, which, by the way, is possible (Alt+Down+L+Right+O is not *that* hard a key combination to accidentally hit). It's still far more plausible that a handful of users did the same.
Further proof is that you claimed that you went to the status window menu and saw that Logging was set ON-- which can only be done if changed via the two methods I listed above (or set directly in mirc.ini). Unless cosmic radiation managed to flip your PC register to the location of the logging function and enabled it, there is no other control flow path I know of that would cause mIRC to accidentally toggle the logging setting for status windows. If it *was* a bug, it would be far more likely that the logging setting would still have been set to off.
Finally, note that the last change to logging was in 7.15 (as per
versions.txt). You said you never had this issue until 7.19-- were you using 7.17? If so, this would reinforce my point. The unlikelihood I described is even further compounded for code that hadn't even been touched between the time you said it was working and the time you had your problem. Note that the change in 7.15 wasn't even specific to log settings, just loosely around log functions. Logging settings were only last touched directly in 6.33... though admittedly it's always the indirect changes that cause many bugs, the bulk of which were between 7.0 to 7.11. Basically, if you used 7.11->7.19, you should have the same logging behaviour throughout.
