    I know I replied on another mil, but...

    version 0.7.5 fixed it for me: https://github.com/mkrueger/icy_tools/releases/tag/IcyTerm0.7.5

    Just grabbed this version, no difference just doesn't launch on windows and the linux version seg faults.

    Which version of Windows? I'm using 10 64 Pro and it is wotking fine after getting rid of the settings file.

    SyncTerm won't even let me copy and paste text from the screen.

    It does me. Left-click at beginning of text, hold down left button while moving mouse to highlight text, then let up the mouse button. Highlighted text is copied to clipboard.

    Windows 11. It was working, then it jhust stopped. I did notice a
    windows update had happened too. Who knows?

    People used to laugh at me when I said windows update broke the NTVDM. I had to release v1.19 DOS to fix a ems issue in v1.18 years ago and people laughed and laughed and said there is no way windows caused it, but guess what .. it DID.

    I would imagine that would happen connecting to a Synchronet board too. I believe both softwares capture the mouse on connect, which makes copy/pasting not possible unless you disable that feature.

    Take a look at Blocker:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBEzEV-5oRA https://github.com/xqtr/blocker_bbs_telnet_client

    Blocker looks great! Some really cool ideas you've implemented, being able to add/modify regex to find links, and the interface to "click" links only using the keyboard is great. The support to run as a door is also very cool! A lot of neat features to explore.

    Thanks for sharing the link, I hadn't found Blocker yet and didn't know what I was missing. :)

    In the latest builds of SyncTERM v1.2b, just hit Alt-O to override the mouse capture of the BBS. Or hit Alt-B to copy from the scroll-back buffer. Either works great (Mystic or otherwise).

    In Synchronet, the mouse capture is optional (user preference under
    terminal settings), whereas with Mystic, I don't think there's a way to disable it.

    Cool, Thanks! I'm actually using v1.2b. Learn something new everyday. :)

    I don't connect to many boards, but they are all Synchronet boards and it works for me. I suppose the SysOps have mouse capture disabled.

    After seeing dm's message, it seems that I either disabled mouse capture or never enabled it.

    I'm still slowly catching up. I have no idea why I'd want a BBS to capture my mouse activity. ;)

    The reason would be for clickable menus and such. Try it out.

    Something happened to icy_term on my computer. I'm not sure if a windows update broke it or if I have hardware failing. Under linux it segfaults and the windows version (I assume) does the same as it never opens.

    It shouldn't be able to segfault unless something very low level happens. Which GFX card do you use? Which version was the last working one?

    A very old one (let's say 0.2.4) may support a wider range of hardware. The recent ones are all using shader code for rendering. The next time I rework the graphics code I'll work on implementing a fallback.

    Hi Omnibrain,

    It shouldn't be able to segfault unless something very low level
    happens. Which GFX card do you use? Which version was the last working
    one?

    It's a laptop with AMD Ryzen and Radeon graphics. (No other information is
    in windows). It seems to run most games I thow at it.

    A very old one (let's say 0.2.4) may support a wider range of
    hardware. The recent ones are all using shader code for rendering. The
    next time I rework the graphics code I'll work on implementing a
    fallback.

    I'll check a few versions back... At one point I could have sworn I had the current version working in both Windows and the WSL install I have, but now neither work.
