Using Messenger 7.0.0777 and MsgPlus 3.52, when the contacts window is docked to some side of the screen, the maximize button of the window does not work.
And another bug (very insignificant, but there it is), when I open a conversation window and press ALT+296, the emoticon panel opens.
I hope this is helpful to anybody.

The maximize button not working when docked is normal.

Edit: Alt+296 gives , just tried again and after waiting a bit it does indeed bring up the emoticonpanel

So somehow this character gets recognized as (

Hmm... Alt+0296 gives Ĩ. Is that of any significance?

Edit: Dodgy escape codes

I was just about to report this bug...  - about the dock + max button...
However - also another minor bug to go along with the docking of the window...


$problem =“
When window docked... - It's impossible to resize the window horizontally
- Also, when I remove from dock - and then resize... and then dock again... - its goes back to a default window size....
I can't resize horizontally is the problem...";


If ($problem != $bug)
   {
    bugger_me();
   }

You should be able to resize the window when docked. As for it returning to a larger size, AFAIK that's normal behaviour.

You can have docking keep your width by changing the registry with Plus! Tweak.  Get plus tweak from here.
Just open it up and go to the setting "DockingkeepsWidth" and change it to True.

Also you should be able to resize the window when it is docked to the side. If that isn't working for you, you may want to start a new thread and post your MSN Messenger and Plus! version info.

This is normal behaviour; you can read Patchou's reply to bug in docking feature? not why it can't be used for more information

Yet another one: just take a look at the screenshot.



An offline contact is displayed on desktop, while the option to hide when offline is activated... I was tweaking a bit before this happened, but i don't know if that is the reason.
