i finish reading a message from a convo i minimise it. then they send another message like a smiley or a short message or something that i can read real quick i go back to the convo read the message quickly then minimise back to what i was doing and the convo on the taskbar still flashs oange as to say i havent read the message but when i go back to it no further message was sent i have to reopen the convo from minimised a few times before it will stay in a non flashing state and often have to leave the convo window open for over a minute to stop the flashing from occuring when i minimise any ideas
