There seems to be some sort of bug in the MXP/Pueblo settings. Under 'hyperlinks', when I press the colour button titled 'custom link colour', I occasionally get a dialog telling me 'Can't access clipboard data' or somesuch. The annoying thing is that the dialog keeps coming back after it's dismissed, and the only way to make it disappear is to kill MUSHclient altogether.

I'm not exactly certain under which circumstances this bug manifests itself, but it mostly happened to me when I tried to change the custom link colour when MXP/Pueblo support had been deactivated prior to logging in to the world. That, or there's something seriously wrong with my Win9x's clipboard ;)

Whoops. Sounds like a bug.

MUSHclient lets you copy and paste colours (eg. 0xAABBCC) as text on the clipboard.

When you go to click on the colour it checks if you have a valid colour there, in case you right-mouse click to paste it.

You must have something else on the clipboard that is throwing MUSHclient out (eg. a picture).

For now, I would make sure you have text on the clipboard (colour or not) until the bug is fixed.
