When you use control + f to search for something in the script editor (search in current file only) and then use the f3 key to access the 'next' match, after finding a match with f3 that's down below enough (don't try a 10 lines script), scroll up with the mouse wheel to the top of the file, now press f3 again (makes sure there's a new match) and you'll see mIRC scrolling the editor in a manual way as though mouse wheel were being used instead of it being instant, *centered*, showing the new match. And it end up not showing the match. In this scenario, if you mouse your mouse over a channel window while it's trying to scroll, it will even end up scrolling the channel window.

1) open the script editor on a big enough script file (remote but probably works everywhere)
2) search for letter 'e' assuming that gives a lot of match (search that file only)
3) after first match is found, hit f3 a couple times so that you would need a good scroll up to get back to the start of the file
4) makes sure 3) does not end up on the last match in file
5) mouse wheel scroll up to the start of the file without clicking away the currently highlighted match
6) hit f3 again

Thanks for your bug report. I have not been able to reproduce this issue here so far. I followed the steps you listed below. When I get to step 6, the search continues normally to the next item instantly.

Sorry about that report, I just figured I completely overlooked that my mouse has two modes for mouse wheeling, and the mode I use basically allows the wheel to spin for quite a while by itself, to allow to scroll large portion of text quickly (single mouse wheel scrolls 85% of versions.txt for example), so what's happening is that when I'm hitting f3 after mouse wheel scrolling up, the scroll does not stop when it reaches the beginning of the file, my mouse wheel is still spinning trying to scroll up, and this is interfering with the scrolling of the f3 search (also explains why it scrolls channel window)
