Contact Information window navigation bugs by Fecal-Lord on 09-05-2005 at 12:13 AM
I am using Messener Plus v3.54.132, and I recently installed MSN Messenger v7.5.0299.
This bug was present in the current version of MSN mentioned above, but I also noticed it when using the previous version.
In older version fo MsgPlus this bug was not present.
Now that's out of the way, here's what I have noticed. when you right-click a contact and choose 'messenger plus extras' -> 'contact information' you have a small window that summerizes status and name changes for that contact.
In past versions of MsgPlus you could just hit Esc to quickly and easily close this window, AND you could also navigate the window elements with TAB or Shift+Tab. In the current version of MsgPlus you cannot do either of these things and must close the window manually with the 'X', close button, or alt+f4.
Hope this helps and all the best with this fantastic plugin for MSN!

guess this is an unnoticed bug, however pressing esc to close programs isn't very good and very few people use it
it may even have been taken out on purpose so that you could close the window by accident

Right I know that not many programs close in that way, but this window in MsgPlus has closed in this way for as long as I've been using it. So it's what I've grown used to using, although it recently changed.
That's all, thanks for the fast reply though, it's much appreciated.
