Bug ID: 55406 Summary: mIRC hangs on receiving a new PM Product: Wine Version: 8.12 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: kooldioxide@gmail.com Distribution: ---
This problem started once I upgraded mIRC to version 7.74.
When someone sends me a PM and this causes mIRC to open a new window, mIRC hangs entirely, and the process keeps using a lot of CPU according to htop.
Only thing I can do at that point is kill the process.
The problem doesn't occur if I already have a query window open with the person sending me a message.
An easy way to reproduce this is to connect to an IRC server, then from the status window: /msg <my_own_nick> hello
That will open a query window to yourself which triggers this behaviour as well.
This problem occurs on two different Linux installations I tried, one with Wine 8.12 and one with Wine 8.0.2.

--- Comment #1 from kooldioxide@gmail.com --- Meanwhile I also made a bug report directly on the mIRC forums and their main developer confirmed that the big will be fixed in the next mIRC version.

I don't know if you still want to have a look from a Wine perspective or if this bug can be resolved.
