Forums Bug Reports Colors!

When using colors with /echo and /aline (and prolly any other command that allows you to specify a line color), using ^O won't keep the color setting when copying the colors. IMHO, mIRC should find some way of remembering line colors.

Example:
/echo 3 Some Text
With a ^O between Some and Text, it outputs:
Some Text
But copies as:
Some Text

A way mIRC can deal with this issue, would be to replace all the ^O's in a line with ^K(color) when a line color is specified. Then the line will copy correctly. If a line color is not specified, the ^O's should remain ^O's, so copying/reading on different colored backgrounds doesnt come out screwy.

This sounds more like a feature suggestion than a bug report to me. The behavior is exactly as I expected -- it copies the control codes as they appear in the text, which is what /help control+copy leads me to believe is the desired effect. That's fine by me.

If your suggestion were to be implemented, it seems that the next logical step would be to also throw in the default background color, if not specified in the control codes, because if you msg the text without that color code to someone with a different bg, it would look different.

If these suggestions are added, I would hope that it would be optional, or would be done with some key other than ctrl... perhaps ctrl+shift.

Ctrl-O sets text to the person's default text color and removes all codes. That's exactly what it should do. If you want it to show text in your font color, then using your own Ctrl-K would make more sense. In either case, it's definitely not a bug.

Each user is supposed to see their default font color when no Ctrl-K is in effect.
