Forums Bug Reports Who ate my letters? Multibyte BUG!

BUG Report:
Version: From 6.11 to 6.14
Key Words: Multibyte display
About me: I'm from Shanghai, always use Chinese to chat.

mIRC supports multibyte from 5.91, from then on, we can use Chinese conveniently. All we should do is just enable the check box
(fig 1, the check box, screen shot from mIRC 6.14)


But from mIRC 6.11, we find a deadly bug when multibyte is enabled.
As fig 2, if I input:
Control Code + 1 or 2 byte + Color Code + Chinese


If multibyte is enabled, what will happen?
My God! the "1 or 2 byte" will disappear! (see fig 3 please)


Then, disable the multibyte, the eaten letters will appear immediately! (see fig 4 please)


So, I have to use mIRC 6.02 to avoid the bug, and give up more and more powerful functions in new mIRC.

It's too bad! isn't it?

Thanks! This is a nice bug report overall, and will certainly aid the further development of mIRC... but the cheap sarcasm isn't necessary.

Yes, too bad.

Thanks, great bug report, I'll try to resolve this issue for the next version.

6.03, 6.1,6.11,6.12,6.14
All of these versions have various bugs of displaying Chinese Words.
We have suffered from them for more than 18 months!
You know, I'm a zealot of mIRC.

I'm very happy that raccoon and Khaled can view my post, thank you!

This should be fixed in mIRC 6.15
59.Fixed various multi-byte display/mark/copy bugs.
