O.P. Bug in Boss Protection and Messenger Lock
I found a bug with the Boss Protection and Messenger Lock features, check this out.

Step by step example:
  • Sign in into Messenger, go to Plus! > Preferences > Privacy Protection.
  • Make sure "Enable the Boss Protection feature" is checked, there's a shortcut assigned, and the "Status while hiding" is something like Busy.
  • Click OK to save Plus settings.
  • Set your status to Appear offline.
  • Press the Boss Protection shortcut. As you now are "Busy", your contacts can see you.
I think MsgPlus shouldn't change the user status if the current status is Appear offline, as this mode is different from other statuses.


Also, with StuffPlug's polygamy option enabled, I opened two Messenger instances, signed into two different accounts, and set the same Boss Protection and Messenger Lock shortcuts.
Calling the shortcuts worked fine, both instances were hidden. But if I disable Boss Protection and Messenger Lock in one of the accounts, then it stops working for both of them.


OK, I hope everything I explained is understandable :P

See you,
lopardo.


BTW, Patch, how do you mute Messenger's sounds while the user is in Boss Protection mode? It's interesting for a plugin I'm making. :)
