First of all good job :) I have a bit of a problem tho. I have the latest messenger with windows 7. Whenever I use the auto accept feature for the cam it opens up a bunch of windows of live (hotmail) in firefox.

We had that bug during beta testing too. It seems that they haven't been able to resolve it :(

I hope they find a solution quickly :)

I happened to experience this as well :S

Could you post a screenshot of the chat window next time this happens? That'd help us a lot :)

Turn auto accept on (I experienced it with tabbed chats enabled and 3 conversations taking place), received a photo and it opened about 20 windows live tabs.

I wouldn't ask for a screenshot if we were able to reproduce it. We weren't during the beta, we still aren't.

Sure I will get a screen shot next time it happens

I just was giving you the steps as I wasn't home. I can try and reproduce now.

Reproduced:

Steps to reproduce
Start 2 chats (with WLM tabbed chats enabled)
Switch to Contact B's conversation window
Have Contact A send a file

I can reproduce it too, using matty's steps.

By the way, the file wasn't accepted, it should have been.

Here is the reason this happens.

ALT+C opens the Help Center. Messenger Plus! is failing to set the focus of the chat window which received the file and continues to mimic the ALT+C keystroke. Once you switch to the other conversation window it will accept the file and stop opening the help center.

Oh, I did not change back to Contact's A window, that explanation does make sense.
