Heya,

I use WLM 14.0.8117.416 at work and just noticed theres something weird about the Visual logging status feature (you know, the red light flashing on the top right of the ChatWnd)... it just looks crappy (no offense) when I resize the contacts scene area.





Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Service Pack 1 (6.1.7601)
Windows Live Messenger 14.0.8117.416
Messenger Plus! 5.10.0.750

Couldn't reproduce it on...
Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Service Pack 1 (6.1.7601)
Windows Live Messenger 15.4.0513
Messenger Plus! 5.10.0.750

Oh, and while we're at it... any chance to get rid of this red light flashing thingy? didn't find a way to hide it...


Thanks

You can get rid of the button all together or just the flashing, see my reply here.

As for your bug, I can not reproduce it here:
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1, 32 bits
Windows Live Messenger 2011 (15.4.3538.513)
Messenger Plus! 5.10.0.750

It is most likely due to you using an older Windows Live Messenger version there. Any reason why you are using an older version of Windows Live Messenger on the computer you get this on?

I can reproduce this too in WLM 2009.
(build number doesn't matter, nor does the Plus! version)

It happens when you resize the scene area till only the nickname of the contact is visible (thus so that the PSM is completely hidden). I think it happens because that red indicator is located in the area where the PSM is in. So resizing that and you also resize any content which is in it like that flashing button. If it was located in the area where the nickname of the contact is, I suppose it wouldn't resize.

It is definitely a gui-bug.

Reason for using 2009: WLM 2009 is quite different than 2011. Many people still use 2009 because of the massive added social 'bloat' and massive big ads in 2011.

Seconded

And you can't block people in 2011 and I want to talk to people when I appear offline.
