On the other hand rfc1453 and rfc2812 state that the nickname is maximum length 9 characters!!
I quote:
"Each user is distinguished from other users by a unique nickname having a maximum length of nine (9) characters. [...]
While the maximum length is limited to nine characters, clients SHOULD accept longer strings as they may become used in future evolutions of the protocol."
I don't get why you said that. You just said something and posted source that sorta contridicts what you claimed.
But I agree with those who believe this is a bug. Of course it is. mIRC is only a gateway to IRC. IRCd's control how long nicknames are, not mIRC. The fact that you believe nicknames should only be X characters long has nothing to do with you. If you run a server (or even a channel) then you can control the length.
