[Messenger] Clicking hyperlinks in conversations doesn't work half the time.

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

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 back for it to actually treat the link as a link.

Fix the conversation window so that hyperlinks are recognized as such.

Yes, I think this was a problem since before it was called WLM. Not sure if I remember right.
