Hiding mIRC in Taskbar - Sometimes disapears. #138446 31/12/05 01:32 PM

Sully S	Iv noticed a bug in mIRC V6.16. You know the feature where you can minimize mIRC to the taskbar as an icon, so its not in the way? Well, sometimes if you do it to fast or try minimizing it while its opening - it doesnt seem to go to the taskbar at all and I cant open it. Windows says its loaded, and I have to kill the process and start a new client to connect back to IRC. Its hard to explain how it happens, im a bit confused myself. Anyone else have this?

XP Home + SP2, mIRC 6.16 Its hard to explain how it works, sometimes if the window is in the middle of being opened but is slow to do so, and you try hide it again - its gone. But its defo a bug ><
