I can't reproduce this on that timer, however what I think might be happening is the stuff you have on your clipboard.

MUSHclient tries to decode the clipboard when you open the timers menu to see if you have an XML string on it, so it can enable the "paste" button. Under certain rather obscure circumstances it will pass its first test but fail its second, which accounts for the error message.

The specific circumstances are that you have a form-feed character on the clipboard, (hex 0C) and that the clipboard contains only the letters A-Z and/or the characters "+", "/", and "=", and that *including* any form-feed characters the number of characters on the clipboard is mod 4 (divisible by 4) but without the form-feed characters the number of characters is not mod 4. The problem will also occur if you have a vertical-tab character on the clipboard (hex 0B).

This will be fixed in the next version, for now copying something else to the clipboard should fix it.
