O.P. Random characters added to end of the name when using custom statuses
Lately I upgraded to a new computer, so I saved my Messenger Plus settings and imported them. Now, whenever I change to a custom status, after a while, my name will be appended with all kinds of weird characters. Here's an example of it happening from my event log:

code:
Date: 2007-08-22 - Time: 20:40:31
Name changed: This has been my name for (1160) days and counting (Aug 22) {Not at my Computer}
Date: 2007-08-22 - Time: 20:40:35
Name changed: This has been my name for (1160) days and counting (Aug 22)В {Not at my Computer}
Date: 2007-08-22 - Time: 20:40:35
Name changed: This has been my name for (1160) days and counting (Aug 22)В
Date: 2007-08-22 - Time: 20:41:12
Name changed: This has been my name for (1160) days and counting (Aug 22)Р’


This is just a basic example, and there are cases of up to 30 characters being added. I think it only occurs when I lock my computer (Winkey + L) after changing the status, but I can't be sure.

Using Windows XP SP2, WLM 8.1 and MsgPlus 4.23.276.

Personalized status dissapears and nick is changed

Known problem but unfortunately there is no known perfect solution. Disable roaming option of Windows Live Messenger for the time being.

Yeah. Same OS, and slightly older versions of WLM and Plus.

I did a few searches, but only within the Bug Reports forum. I shall make a mental note.
