Problem with mysterious output

This is probably the strangest problem I've ever had with Mushclient.

I can only assume this has something to do with memory in Mushclient.

It usually starts occuring when my history buffer has reached around 5000 lines.

What happens is when the game sends me a large amount of data (viewing a mud script ~ 20+ lines), the output is different from what it really should be. I don't really know how to explain it too well. Mud script comes with line numbers, so I'll kinda show an example. The skewed output is usually in the last 5 lines of the script...

1) a
2) b
3) c
4) d
5) e
1) a
2) b
3) c
9) i

Here's why it isn't a problem with the game: The next line to come from the mud, no matter how long, fixes the output. If I select the output (ctr-a, or shift click drag)
then the output also fixes itself.

The obvious solution is to change my buffer to less than 5000 lines, but I was wondering if there is a better soltuion. I kinda like/need my buffer :>

Thanks,

If I understand you correctly, I can say that I've seen this happen before as well. I do not recall it lately, but I have seen it in the past. I distinctly remember highlighting the "broken" output to correct it. My buffer is 200k yet I don't recall this happening lately.

Sounds like a refresh problem. When new output arrives the old output is scrolled up, and what was in its place is redrawn (that is, the new lines).

Sounds like it is not redrawing, hence doing anything that forces it to redraw fixes it.

This hasn't been reported before recently. See if you can find what causes it, I don't think the number of lines is a factor, you can have 100,000 lines, that shouldn't be the problem.

Simply Alt+Tab to another application, and then back, anything that forces a redraw should do it.

If it is happening occasionaly, but enough to annoy, you could make a macro that simply sends:

/Redraw ()

This is a script command that forces the main (output) window to be redrawn. Then hit Alt+R (or whatever macro key you choose) if you want the screen redrawn.
