Somebody on #mirc@undernet made us aware of some small isue.
When there is a nick on channel named something.
Then anyone typs the word somethong` (with the ` sign) mIRC will still change it's mouse pointer hovering over it as if it was the nick "something"

Confirmed .. but it seems to do it with any non-alphanumeric
character, not just ` (96) at the beginning or end of the nick.

v6.17

~ Edit ~

Also, it only happens with one character at the
start or end, add another character and no go.

this does detect the correect nick if that nick exists in channel at the time tho, just if they have left it well fall back to finding the other one, ie : bob and bob` finds each correctly but if bob` was to leave, it falls back on bob.

Which in one sence is a security flaw, since Bob` might do something bad, then part and and op right clicks on him and kick/bans Bob by mistake. frown A nasty trick but not an overly impressive one.
