[2.07] The weirdest trigger bug I've ever seen
 
This one takes my top prize for weird stuff to see CMud do.
Until now, everything in 2.07 has worked beautifully. I was having no problems so far with freezing, all my capture triggers were working fine, everything seemed peachy.

Then I opened my alternate character's session. One of the triggers in that session wasn't working, so I opened the Package Editor. That locked-up CMud so I had to kill the process and restarted it. Everything seemed to be fine again, so I attempted to open the Package Editor on my alt again. Went in fine, edited a few things in a trigger that I felt would make it work, and now, every time a trigger would be fired (on either session), I am instead getting the entire trigger output to my screen...

Here are some example lines, directly from my main output screen. Some are one line, others are multiple lines, and the first line is always bright cyan, while the remaining are my terminal default grey.
Code:

[^--> TICK <-- \(All: 100%, Qt: 0\)$-> #SUB {%concat(%ansi(high,white),"--> TICK <-- ", %time("hh:nn:ss ddmmmyyyy"),%cr)}]

[^--> (?!TICK\s)-> #CAP wiznet
#GAGSPACE]

[^\(Friend\): -> #cap friend]


Opening the Package Editor, everything looks fine... I checked every tab, including the compiled and test pattern tabs, and everything looks perfect, except for the annoying red underlines from the spellchecker under everything.

OK... so I got too annoyed with the spellchecking, and turned it off... which subsequently turned off Syntax coloring... and now the triggers are working fine.

Testing a few combinations now, and it seems whenever I have Syntax coloring on in the Package Editor (open or not), triggers don't work, they merely output themselves to the screen (overwriting what they were supposed to trigger on), but with syntax coloring off, they work fine.

I'll see what happens with a restart.

Looks like the "Show trigger debug messages" option in the Preferences is turned on for that window.

I noticed that my 'show trigger debug messages' seems to have somehow toggled itself internally in my latest install also, it wasnt checked, but toggling it on and back off fixed this problem.
