mIRC cannot join channels when you double click them with "-" or "_" in the names.

How to replicate.

Connect to any server (I used freenode)

Enter this code in the status window.
Code:
//echo -a #example
//echo -a #example-bug
//echo -a #example_bug


Double click #example - this will open a window
Double click #example-bug - this will take you to the #example channel window - without sending the "join #example-bug" to the IRCd
Double click #example_bug - this will take you to the #example channel window - without sending the "join #example_bug" to the IRCd


Now, close out of the #example channel. (Should now only have a server status window opened)

This is where it gets interesting:

Double click #example-bug - this will open a channel window
Double click #example_bug - this will open a channel window
Double click #example - this will open a channel window


Also, channels are not click-able after the "-" or "_" so I think this is related to URL parsing broken?

This bug does not exist in 7.22
Thanks this issue has been fixed for the next version.
