in mIRC before 5.9 or so you could select text bigger then 1 viewable screen, you just keep pulling down with your mouse pointer and the screen would scroll down and the selection kept it's original origin. now when you select and scroll down the origin is changed to the same posistion (if availible) on the next line...

I too find this very anoying, only way to solve it is to "save buffer" (right click on channel button in the window list > buffer > save as)


If it ain't broken, don't fix it!
