This has happened for all versions that I can think of, and I /think/ I may have posted it before.

When capturing something to a child window that contains <> tags, it will sometimes double up the <> tag.

For instance:

[Newbie] Charneus: Try using 'help search <phrase>' to find your answer.

becomes

[Newbie] Charneus: Try using 'help search <phrase><phrase>' to find your answer.

It's not doubling on input, but just the output, and it's only shown in the child window.

I realize I could turn off mxp altogether, but I do use it for the clickable links.

Are you using #CAPTURE, or does it also happen with other methods? I've never seen such an issue with #WINDOW, which I use almost exclusively since I'm rearranging or otherwise doing something preparatory with the original data.

I do use capture, yes, just for the color purposes. Probably should have mentioned that. I'm going to work on a way to produce it offline, just haven't had time to do that yet. Wanted to get the post out in case someone else experiences it.

Edit: I realize I actually use #WIN, not #CAP... silly me.

Does this get fixed if you turn off the Capture MXP option for the child window?

It does not get fixed unchecking Capture MXP. Here's the procedure to reproduce this.

1. Open up an untitled session.
2. #WIN Test Set MXP preferences for this window to show unknown tags.
3. #TRIGGER {Test: (*)} {#WIN Test %1}
4. #SAY {Test: This is a <test>.}

Note how the <test> isn't doubled.

5. #SAY {Test: This is a <test> for <MXP>}

Notice how the <test> is now doubled and <MXP> isn't.

6. #SAY {Test: This is a <test> for <MXP> for <duplicates>.}

Notice now how MXP is doubled as well, but shows up in the middle of <test>? The deeper you go, the more it shows up.

Confirmed.

Wonder if this is an easy fix...
