Forums Bug Reports Color bug (mIRC 6.17)

Type: //echo $color(background) -a hello


Where it is the message?

And selecting the text also does not appear



(Sorry for the bad english, I use the babelfish :P)

Correcting, where is the message?

Not a bug, it just colours the text the color you specified. i.e. background.

At first I thought you were joking but I see now you're referring to the fact that highlighting the text no longer displays the text if the foreground and background colours are the same. Yeah, I would say this is a bug (or maybe a not so well thought out feature) and I think the foreground colour should be the opposite of the background colour if both colours are the same.

It's a bug or atleast an unpleasant new feature. This has been discussed in a prior bug report though here

In the older versions, it appeared when you selected the text.


And that was an exemple.

And now what? Im receiving "phantom" messages. What do i do? Should i use the old 6.16 version?

Well it's not like you can't do anything about it... just copy the message and paste it in a mirc editbox or in Notepad.

Ill use the old 6.16 version again, its easier

Same problem here, i will use 6.16 too but this could be fixed.. its very annoying copy and paste messages to see
