This was reported in #msgplus, I sussed it out, and didn't find it on the forums, and found that I'm getting the same problem.
These are my versions.
Windows XP Service Pack 2 (5.1.2600)
Windows Live Messenger 8.00.0812
Messenger Plus! Live 4.01.0.240
The Problem.
I've included a script, called EmoTest, to show you the emoticon test. Its a very basic script. It basically shows that when you select an emoticon from the emoticon panel, and send it, the OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage function doesn't parse the emoticons selected from the panel, they just turn into a space.
To Test.
quote:
/emotest *select an emoticon from the emoticons panel*
Only the 1 emoticon will work.
It also traces to the debugging window.
I hope I've set this out easy enough to understand.
EDIT :
This bug is still in latest versions.
