I noticed that mirc6.x has a fun habbit and messing up your popup scripts in the popup menu editer.

I have noticed 6.x doesnt support characters like " ( ) and [ ] " in popup menu item names. Cause that alone can cause the script distortion.....here the issue

Normal Script...

Main menu
.menuitem1
.menuitem2
Main menu2
.menuitem1
.menuitem2
etc etc.............

If you add a ( ) in a item name, it messes up some of the menu stuff below.....example

Authority
.PM
..Ignore User: { action }
.Channel (new) <-- right there***
..kick { action }
..ban { action }
etc etc
a little further down in the popups script, you will see things messed up like this..
menu1
..menuitem: { action }
..menuitem2: {action }..menuitem3: { action }
..menuitem4: {action}
..menuitem5: {action}
..menuitem6: {action}
..menuitem7: {action}

Menuitems 4-7 are a few spaces away fromt he left and out of alignment (the forums wont show those spaces)

see how menuitem3 moved off its own line an joined with menuitem2's line, thus trowing everythign else below it off format?

An if you go to the beggining of menuitem3 an hit enter an throw it back to its own line where it was, an refresh the screen, it will go back to being screwed up again until you remove the "(new)" an then fix all the messed up items one by one (somtimes they will all go back to normal by themselves after remoing the ( )'s or whatever caused it)

I would like to point that problem out with a BIG flashing sign -_^
Since this issue drives me nuts when im scriptin,an limits what I can use since now it doesnt want to use ( ) [ ] etc etc in menus frown

It's a documented bug and should be sorted for the next version. (Hopefully)

As far as I am aware only V6.03 does it.

this happens since 6.00
a way to work around this, is to use $chr().

I never noticed it because I always put popups in remote scripts.
