O.P. Messenger Lock activates even when the option is disabled
I dont know if any of you noticed, but when i press CTRL+SPACE, Plus! activates the messenger lock feature even if the feature is turned off or has another key shortcut.

I have to go the Messenger Lock options and click Apply to disable the feature (even if it's not enabled). This resolves the issue for the current session, but if i reboot my pc, the CTRL+Space key shortcut gets enabled again for some strange reason.

This is a bit annoying cause i use CTRL+Space a lot in Visual Studio and Plus! overrides that key shortcut for locking messenger...

I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate x64, Messenger Live! 8.5.1302.1018 and Plus! Live 4.60.0.324.

^o)

actually...  confirmed

after rebooting, and signing in again, CTRL+SPACE locks messenger, no matter if you've set a different shortcut.

The different shortcut is shown in the preferences though.

EDIT: after rebooting again, it doesn't do this anymore; I can't reproduce it anymore. Very strange.

What I did:

CTRL+SPACE was set as my lock shortcut before.
I changed it to CTRL+ALT+L
Pressed "Ok".
Closed Messenger and rebooted

Signed in and pressed CTRL+SPACE
->Messenger locked up.
Went to the preferences and CTRL+ALT+L is shown as the shortcut.
Trying to use CTRL+SPACE again, doesn't lock anymore.
CTRL+ALT+L does lock up Messenger now.
Closed Messenger and rebooted again.

Signed in and pressed CTRL+SPACE.
->nothing happens

...
Windows XP SP3, Plus! build 326.
