Issue with MUSH 4.84 connecting to Fluffos: Unable to save command history

Here is the English translation of your question:

The issue is this: I recently switched to the Fluffos driver, and I'm using the MUSHclient v4.84 client. Before logging in, when I enter commands, MUSH can save the command history, and I can scroll through previously entered commands using the up and down arrow keys. However, immediately after logging into the game, this functionality stops working. If I forcibly disconnect at this point, it immediately regains the ability to save command history. Using the same LIB file with the MudOS driver does not have this problem.

This means I have to type out every single command in full each time, which is extremely inconvenient.

I tried updating the MUSHclient software version, testing from 4.84 all the way up to V4.94. This version resolved the issue, and commands could be saved again. However, version 4.94 constantly crashes and is completely unusable. I'm unsure if it's a software issue or if it's caused by my Lua scripts leading to the crashes.

After reviewing the MUSH 4.94 update log, it mentioned fixes related to the Telnet negotiation mechanism, and personally, I suspect this is the reason.

I'm wondering if it's possible to implement a similar negotiation mechanism on the Fluffos end, perhaps through recompilation or something similar, but I'm not very knowledgeable about this. Has any expert who has encountered this problem before been able to offer some advice on how to resolve it, so that MUSH version 4.84 can normally save the history of entered commands?

What happens if you replace MUSHclient.exe with the one from https://github.com/nickgammon/mushclient/releases/download/latest_commit/MUSHclient.exe

There have been many updates since 4.94.
