Yeah, sorry about that.  I should've been more clear when I said I added a contact with just a mobile number. I'm thinking it treats a pure mobile contact differently and would (normally) draw that information as the tab name.. it just isn't doing that now.

As for what machine it affects, it's both.  However, I ran the update to 4.8 on the Vista machine first a few days ago, and the tab information disappeared there instantly while it remained on the XP machine.  After I updated the XP machine to 4.8, which was just tonight, I noticed that it disappeared here also, which is why I figured I should report it.  It's clearly an issue with the 4.8 build.

Strangely, I just grabbed a third computer (also a Vista) and specifically downloaded 4.7, yet when I went to install it, I still wound up with 4.8 anyway.  I was hoping to get a screenshot of the tab displaying correctly, but possibly someone else who still has 4.7 installed can do that.  Or, if someone could point me in the direction of a working 4.7 download, that would be nice too (I've only found one, and that's this one.. which wound up installing 4.8 on both computers anyway).

Needless to say, though, this third computer is effected also - blank tab with the "offline" icon for a "pure mobile" contact.


I wasn't aware that WLM9 was out of beta, is it? I'd rather not upgrade until I know it's stable.

Speaking of upgrading, I'm fairly certain that's what it said.  It did seem out of place, but I would have upgraded even if it hadn't said that.  I may have misread it, but.. that's not really a part of the issue, heh.
