Submitted by Ensign Joe on March 6, 2009 to Annoyance, Bug, Usability

Submitted by Bas on March 5, 2009 to Annoyance, Bug, Usability

Problem: When a Messenger contact sends you a URL, clicking it in the conversation window often doesn't open the webpage, but just sets the text cursor where you clicked it. Repeated clicking does not help, you need to alt+tab to another window and alt+tab (more...)

Submitted by DavidTaraso on March 4, 2009 to Annoyance, Bug

Problem: When you set the display size of Display Pictures in a conversation window to Small, the size is not saved. When you close the conversation window, the Display Pictures return to Medium.
