Forums Bug Reports Replacing rapidly by holding a key

In the mIRC editor, pressing Ctrl-F will allow you to replace text. If you hold down Enter or press space rapidly, it will replace a lot of instances of the text rapidly, but sometimes it will insert a new-line or space right before the replaced text.

I realize that clicking All will replace all instances without this problem, but I didn't want to replace all instances.

You may notice that the "Replace Text" dialog flashes, this may be the issue, as the Remote Editor becomes focused and your keyboard cache still has an 'enter' in it, so it performs the enter in that window.

It is only coincidence that mIRC's find operations were fast enough to keep up with your keyboard's repeat rate... and when mIRC hits an especially large gap between matches, your keyboard sends that keypress before it is needed.

Solutions:
1.) Manually press enter/ space only when the find dialog apears.
2.) Lower your keyboard's typomatic rate under Start > Settings > Control Panel > Keyboard.


(To Khaled:) Could you please make the Script Editor's Find dialog remember its position when moved, instead of constantly reappearing in the center of the Script Editor where it is most obstructive.
