Hi, i'm back 
just to let you know about this bug (see attachment).
This happened after locking Windows and re-opening WLM. I will try to make it happen again and tell you exactly what I did.

Please provide WLM, Plus! and Windows versions, and if you can, steps to reproduce.
RE: Empty contact list by robert_dll on 01-11-2009 at 09:46 PM
Windows Vista Ultimate x64 Service Pack 1 (6.0.6001)
Windows Live Messenger 14.0.1202
Messenger Plus! Live 4.79.0.353
What I did was, appear as Away, close WLM window, lock Windows, unlock Windows 20min after, open WLM window.

Can you reproduce the problem is you re-do the same thing? do you have any kind of skin or patch installed?
RE: Empty contact list by robert_dll on 01-11-2009 at 10:01 PM
I don't have any skin or patch installed, I will try to reproduce the problem right now
Sorry, I couldn't reproduce it, but if it happens again I will post...

It's just happened to me
Wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary, Messenger was just sat there as usual, I then went to check who was online and there was a massive blank space where my contact list should be.
The Dashboard with display picture & e-mail icon is still showing, the 'What's New' area is still there too.
I can still open chats (as long as a toast pops up, otherwise I have no way of clicking on the contact!)

Sounds like the 1001 Contact List subwindow is messing.
