I noticed that sometimes I get errors or strange behaviours from indicators with dots in the filename.

does it happens with you also ?
now I won't put version in the filename or like that:
"indicator 116.mq4" instead of "indicator 1.16.mq4

no, never noticed that
but there is a problem of copying indicators to other media (memory cards, flash drives), as a result, I began to copy indicators only in rar archives

I have problems with the clipboard. Sometimes it doesn't copy, I can't paste. If more than one compiler MQL is open.

There were problems with iCustom if there are spaces in the name. And with quotes{}. Perhaps cleaning the folder with indicators helped. If the folder is larger than 35 megabytes, problems with the compiler begin.
