Transparent chat windows ruins the normal images on screen when maximized by ahmetgns on 06-03-2007 at 10:02 AM

Please confirm this bug.

Set any transparency level to your chat windows and open a chat window.
(Provided that it is not maximized currently) maximize it.
Then minimize it to taskbar and check if the displayed image at the screen is ruined.

Can't validate here except for the fact that a part of the screen goes black for 1/10 of a second.

Confirmed, see screenshot attached:
IMPORTANT NOTE The error is only the anomally in the top left area of the screen. I removed my contact list + some folder names + taskbar myself.

confirmed, the background of the current position of the conversation window is placed in the top-left of the screen while maximizing.

Note some strange thing. If you have Tabbed Chats enabled and if you have at least two tabs in the conversation window, then this bug WON'T appear when you maximize that window. Could you confirm this also?

Cannot confirm here.

Windows Vista Business (6.0.6000)
Windows Live Messenger 8.5.0517

So far it seems to be only people with XP experiencing this problem, gotta love Vista's new DWM.

Same as Eljay here, can't confirm here on Windows Vista.

Seems like a bug only in XP...

Sometimes when you minimise it isn't bugged, but when you actually maximise the window you can see that the image behind is screwed up (see attached screenshot because that was a dodgy description

Contact List too ruins the image when it is transparent while being maximized, I've just noticed.

The conversation window problem occurs on my other PC as well:

It doesn't occur here....

Niether on XP Pro, and I tested this just now on XP Home also. No problems at all. Neither with the contact list.
