Small display bug on General->Miscellaneous options sheet by dra27 on 11-13-2004 at 09:12 PM

While setting the "Automatically change status after a period of inactivity" option, I noticed the following problem. If you add a "Status Preset", it doesn't appear in the dropdown list in Miscellaneous General Options until you close and reopen the Preferences window. Clicking Apply doesn't make it appear in the list immediately. Not exactly the end of the world, but it would be nice if clicking Apply caused the list of statuses to be updated.

Using MsgPlus 3.25.106 with MSN Messenger 6.2.0137 on Windows XP SP1

added notes:

When you rename a personalised status, the renamed status will be shown/updated in the statuslist of the automatically-away settings.

When you delete a personalised status, the deleted personalised status will still show in the statuslist of the automatically-away status. Only after closing/reopening the config window, the default status is choosen.

This beheviour is present in older Messenger Plus!'s as well.



Indeed, it is not really a bug, but a minor UI annoyance/limitation.

I know about that, that's a glitch and I don't plan on fixing it soon (this kind of thing can be very bothering from a developer point of view ;)). Sorry! :)
