Forums Bug Reports 7.01: Bug: Single("Messages")Window opened

Hi,

sometimes when I connect to psybnc, I got the window "Messages" with some privmsg from psybnc. I tried to reproduce it and found a way.

Assume that we have no scripts except one:

on ^*:open:?: {
if ($halted) halt

if ($nick == -psyBNC) {
echo -s foo $1-
halt
}
}

Now type 5 times the command "/eraseprivatelog". psybnc answers with "Log geloescht" (german, means "log erased"). It works 4 times, but the 5th time mirc opens the windows "Messages" that is normally used when the option "Use single message window" was activated.

Any idea? I think this is a bug. I used the same script in 6.35 without any problems.

Technically this is a feature of mIRC's Flood control, as Collective pointed out. mIRC is treating these 4 messages as a "flood" and limiting the opening of new windows by diverting them to the single message window. You can toggle this feature on/off with: Alt+O -> Flood -> Limit: [x] Query windows

That said, there seems to be a bug in the implementation of the feature, since it is "limiting" query windows that are not actually being opened. Without that halting script you would expect the single message window to activate-- however in this specific case, the windows are never actually opened, so mIRC should not be trying to "limit" anything. It should probably be checking if the window actually opened after processing scripts. I wonder what Khaled thinks about this issue?

Thanks, yes, this is due to the query flood protection. I have moved the flood check so that it takes place after the on OPEN event, so this should be fixed in the next version.

Thanks, I see that Khaled also found this issue. But flood-Control is turned off in my case, so I thought that this could not be the reason. But it is

So, is this another bug that the limit check are used allthough the flood-control was disabled?

Thanks, this should be fixed in the next version as well.

tnx, it is both fixed in 7.02
