Problem with /MENU ADD "$TAB/..."

[dash9]

I'm trying the example in the documentation, but it has no effect:

Code: Select all

/MENU -p0 ADD "$TAB/Cycle Channel" cycle

Strangely, if I add an "x" after "$TAB", it works (the menu item appears):

Code: Select all

/MENU -p0 ADD "$TABx/Cycle Channel" cycle

It also works with " " (space) instead of "x", and I expect it works with other characters, also.

Any idea why the original example does not work?

EDIT: I restarted xchat and it works now.
EDIT2: /MENU ADD "$TABx/test" should fail instead of .. ignoring "x", because if that menu item is added, it cannot be removed with /MENU DEL "$TAB/test" and it can be very very confusing. Please fix it.

Some more weirdness:
I'm running this command in my script and it does not work:

Code: Select all

xchat.command('MENU ADD "$TAB/Bookmark This Channel" "BOOKMARK %s"')

If I try to give the command directly, it also does not work, but if I do a DEL and then I run it again directly, it works!
Any idea why?
