idle status not working on latest beta by kya007 on 01-18-2009 at 07:02 PM

I'm currently using MSN Windows Live Messenger 2009, with the newest Messenger Plus Live Beta version 4.79.0.353, & I looked around the bug reports forum & don't think there's a report about the idle status so I'm posting it here...

I enabled the "show contacts as idle instead of away when appropriate" option, & tested this with my other account using the "multiple accounts" function on Plus but when Account 1 is idle, the only part that shows "Idle" is in the display name on the main window of Account 1. it does not show as "idle" on the contacts list of Account 2. it still says "Away".

I'm using Windows Vista.

This is a known limitation of Plus integrating into WLM. If you hover over the contact, the tooltip will show the idle status as appropriate.
