Desktop contacts steal focus by bugsy2126 on 10-18-2004 at 11:58 AM
I have noticed that whilst I am typign a message, and have desktop contacts enabled, that the desktop icon steals the focus.
I have the function enabled that they dissapear once they go offline, and when a contact comes back on it steals the focus of the window
I am using Windows XP, Service Pack 2.
Latest version of Msn and Msg Plus! Which is 6.2.0137 and Plus! 3.21.104
I also noticed that the desktop contacts after a restart from my computer, they appeared in the middle of the screen, reset by size colour and position

Or I can't seem to reproduce it (both the focusstealing as the resetting of the positions), or it has been fixed in 3.21.105...
(Using Plus! 3.21.105 beta)

Hey CookieRevised,
I was able to eliminate the reset 'bug' by exiting MSN Messenger before restarting my computer or turning it off. Not really a bug, probably more my computer forcing MSG Plus! to quit, thus not saving settings.
As for stealing focus.. I guess I will have to wait till the beta becomes public. Thanks for your help.
