Alright, here's a new bug which will freeze your mIRC client.
Open mIRC and connect to any server, hit ALT+O (mIRC options menu will show up). Now choose "Highlight" from the IRC list and check the "Enable highlighting" button, click add then enter a single quote ", hit OK.
Now type "//msg $me test" or let someone msg you or wait until a user speaks in a channel you're in.
Here your mIRC will go into an infinite loop because of exception handling not covering this case
Be sure to remove the quote " in the end.
Thank you.

I can reproduce it. Also, the added entry doesn't appear in the Highlight list, there's just an empty line there.


/.timerQ 1 0 echo /.timerQ 1 0 $timer(Q).com

Edit: I can reproduce what Collective said.

I can also reproduce it, but something has to be said before mIRC will freeze.

Windows XP Home, mIRC 6.15.

Even a single " turns into an empty entry, and /echo -l makes mIRC freeze as well.

fi i understend you right i pressed alt+o i go to highlight

i check enable highlight and i have add this word "ok"

if i msg my self like you say it can not highlight becuse this fuction is to highlight words/text from others users but if somone else speeks and the word i put "ok" is spoken it works ok here .

the only think i found here is if you selecet from the combobox highlight messages only is still highlight the nickname
