MsgPlus3: message window steals focus by ROsCo on 05-23-2004 at 11:49 PM

Something I've noticed about Messenger Plus! 3 is that if i set personalised status (with an auto responder message) ON, and have no message windows open.... when someone messages me.... his message window just pops up right in the middle of the screen. normally, the message should appear minimized in the taskbar (and that's what happens if i have personalised status OFF).

it's very annoying when i'm watching a movie on full screen, and a message window just pops up from no where in the middle of the screen...

i have a feeling this is a bug... since i haven't found an option anyhere in the preference that prevents the messanger message window from stealing focus from other programs when personalised status is on.

Can anyone else confirm ?

IIRC, the window needs to be focussed to let Plus! send you auto-message. So this is a known limitation... (don't quote me on that)

Hmmm.... i doubt it's a limitation... because i remember pointing out this exact problem months back when a new compatible version of msgplus! was released for msn messenger 6.... this problem was later fixed in a few days when another build of msgplus was released, back then....

.... hope it's the same case here (besides, the official version just prior to msgplus3 never had this problem)

Oh, ic, well in that case, it should be fixed (if fixable)...
