Ctrl + space causes MSN to disappear + not restartable! *solved* by masken on 01-30-2005 at 03:54 PM
MSN version 7.0 Beta, Swedish
Messenger Plus! - beta version for MSN 7.0
PROBLEM
When I edit text and sometimes presses Ctrl + space, my whole MSN dissappears and isn't restartable until I reboot my PC!
What's up with that? I've tried finding any quick-keys for Messenger Plus with this combination, but can't find any
This is extremely annoying as I work alot with text-documents, or rather - the Ctrl + space keyboard combination for jumping between words.
Is it a bug or "feature". If it's a feature, how do I restart MSN after this happens?

this is called "Boss Protection"
when you enable this (with ctrl+space by default) the msn icon in the systray changes to a different icon (which you can specify in plus preferences)
simply double click on this new icon and all the windows will magically reappear 
also in plus preferences (in the privacy tab) you can disable it by unticking the box or change the shortcut.

If you are confused of to which icon to look for, by default it is ![[Image: bpm.gif]](http://www.sighost.org/sigs/bpm.gif)

lol 
Feeling stupid here... but as you can see, I think this feature should lead to a msg-dialogue the first time it's activated, otherwise ppl will get confused 
Thanks for the help guys
