Strange random characters being added to my display name (Personalised Status) by snootchies on 01-17-2008 at 08:47 PM

I have a few custom presets made for my personalised status, some with auto responders.

Sometimes, I set myself to away/busy etc, and when I come back to my PC, I find my display name has had characters added to it.

Usually P or ', but many others. The longer I leave it, the more characters are added.

Im using Live 8.5 with Plus 4.50. It also did this with the previous version too (4.23 I think).

I thought it was a bug which would be sorted on upgrade, but seems not.

Any ideas?

Thanks :)

Do you have any scripts installed, if so which ones?

This has been reported by trini and some other people a few times. I am not sure why this occurs but I am 99% sure that disabling the roaming option of Messenger (Messenger Options>General>"Use same display picture and personal message everywhere I sign in" solves it (you do not need that option enabled if you do not use any other computer to sign-in Messenger)

I found Trini's thread and surprisingly they are exactly same characters as you said:
