This happens every so often. The display output will cut a bunch of stuff, or paste input from a different world, leaving wierd display bugs like this:

One of those links should work, for the picture.

I can provide any information you request about my configuration, but there shouldn't be anything out of the ordinary as far as that's concerned.

Are you using smooth scrolling? I think there might be a glitch in the way that works. Try turning it off.

Alternatively, make a macro that refreshes the screen and bind it to F5 or something, so if it does happen you can redraw, eg.


/Redraw ()

Yep, smooth scrolling is enabled (super-smooth scrolling NOT enabled, cause it's SLOW AS HELL).

I guess I *COULD* disable smooth scrolling, but I like smooth. Smoothies taste good. Smooth scrolling looks good. Super-smooth scrolling looks great, but it's too slow. :(

Super-smooth scrolling should have an argument based on how many pixels the user would like to see-per-second.

Try disabling it to establish if that is the problem, or not. At least that points to the area of code to look into.

I have the same problem, but instead of my output being disrupted by output from different worlds, it's disrupted by output from the same world approximately a page up. I notice that it happens only when I receive a large block of text at once (the example I'm going to show in the screenshot below is a 42 line block of text) and more often when (this one is probably just my imagination) the mud and/or my connection is lagging. I am not using any type of smooth scrolling.

Here is a screenshot of the bug. What triggered it here is the 42 line block of 'defenses.'

Now here is what it should look like; in other words, it's what I see after I scroll up and back down over the buggy text or Redraw().

I love Mushclient, but this is probably my biggest problem with it right now.

Which version of MUSHclient are you using?

4.27, and Windows Vista if that matters.

Version 4.31 onwards redraw the screen in a different way, which I believe completely fixes this problem. I suggest the latest current version, which is 4.36. See:

So far, so good. Thanks!
