The new version of Messenger Plus Live is not fully compatible with Windows Live Messenger 9 on Windows 7. When I try to minimize a chat window, the window keeps appearing on my main screen I have to erase the chat window with my cursor =/

That seems not to be a Plus! bug, do you have Aero enabled?

RE: Another year, another version :-) by boomy2008 on 01-12-2009 at 07:10 PM

Yeah I have when I removed the Plus!, that bug disappeared

Could it be another limitation of tabbed chats on Windows 7, boomy2008? Try disabling just the tabbed chats.

You should not forget that Windows 7 is nothing but a Beta 1. Patchou's opinion on it is...

Well the same problem is effective for Windows Vista too. When you enable the tabbed chats, the chat window remains on the screen even if you minimize it, you have to erase the screen with your mouse cursor lmfao

This happens with XP too, it's what we call a 'known issue'

We know about it, but don't know if anything can be done

that has never happened to me in Vista SP1!

To reproduce, open a chat window (with other windows maximised)

Then minimise the chat window

Then minimise EVERY other window to the taskbar one by one and you will see that the chat window pops up again once you minimise the last one

can't confirm here in Vista SP1 sorry...

Can't confirm here in Vista SP2 either, I tried multiple combinations of different things and couldn't reproduce.

Can't Confirm/Reproduce.
No Service pack, Vista 32 bits

RE: Another year, another version :-) by djdannyp on 01-15-2009 at 05:28 PM

I've definitely seen it happen on Vista SP1, XP SP2 and XP SP3 with varying versions of Plus and Messenger
