Buffer length issues? - mIRC Discussion Forums

Hello! I've been having issues with my buffer... whenever I leave to go out etc., I usually change my active window to the status window on the top server in my list and leave, however upon returning and switching back to windows I'm highlighted in etc., my buffer is no more than 100 lines long or so, just a couple clicks of the scrollwheel. I was previously using 6.21 I believe (just hadn't updated on this PC yet), so I figured I'd update before reporting my issue, but I'm still having the same exact issue with 6.34. I believe this issue STARTED when i attempted to change my buffer length from the default 5,000 lines to 10,000 lines... after having this problem, I tried 9,999 instead (figured maybe it didn't like 5 digits or something...), but still got the same problem, and after switching back to 5,000 I still have the exact same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm using mirc 6.21 and i started to have the exactly same problem today, i have been using this version for a long time and this never happened before.

Edit:
I tried upgrading and downgrading to other versions and the problem still is there, it probably is some problem with the settings? a clean install solves the problem but i had to pass all the scripts and settings manually

If a clean install solves the problem then the scripts *are* the problem. Replacing them will likely have the problem start again sometime down the road.

What scripts are both you and the OP using, may I ask?

I use tons of my own scrips, but nothing like Invision etc. (I hate those :P), I'm pretty sure that none of mine would do something like this, however I will go through them all to be positive. I shall also try a fresh install here soon and see what I can come up with.

Actually i found out the problem and it didn't was any script.
deleting the whole [windows] section in mirc.ini fixed the problem.

So you can't show the original content anymore, so that a specific reason could have been found?

So far as I can tell (testing weeks), the 'delete [windows] section' works like a charm. Mind you the happens-at-random nature of the issue makes this less than proof positive but, I would say at this point there is most certainly a direct connection and that deleted [windows] is a known work around.

As for what was in my [windows] section:
