Occasionally when I type in mIRC's editbox, strange things happen.
  • The font and font size change into something bigger when I type.
  • A white rectangular box with strange symbols appear everytime I type.

The only way I have found to temporarily fix it is to restart mIRC.

Using style 1 keys (lower cases, numbers, etc.) creates the strange characters, and using style 2 keys (upper cases, !@#$%^&*, etc.) creates style 1 characters.

I believe this is produced by pressing the shift, ctrl, or alt keys in combination with another key.

A screenshot of my problem can be found here.

Alt+Shift changes your keyboard language, but I doubt that would have anything to do with the problem you're having.

Assuming it's enabled, does disabling the Multibyte Editbox help? (ALT+O > IRC > Messages).

Regards,

Ah.

I have seen someone report such a thing before, with a similar screenshot, I cannot find it now though. I thought the issue had been fixed, but I guess I was wrong smile

I thought it might be related to this thread.

Regards,
