I've noticed with the reload log option for channels and chat windows that sometimes the log file doesn't fully display. The last few lines are cut, but not always.

Thanks for your post. The reload logs feature loads at most the last 500 lines of a log file (see changes for v6.32 in versions.txt file). Log files can be very large, so reloading them for every channel or query that you open could very easily result in Windows running out of memory, as well as slowing mIRC down. The 500 line limit was added to prevent these types of issues.

I think he meant the bottom few lines (i.e., most recent lines) are missing.

Yes. That's what I meant.

When it happens next time, can you check to see if the log file also has those lines missing?

the log doesn't lack the lines. I've left a channel and rejoined and the lines would pop up then. it's just not reloading it properly

I too am experiencing this problem for quite some time now.
Almost 2 years ago I posted about this here.

Thanks, I think I have found the cause of this issue. It has been fixed for the next version.
