O.P. Ctrl + space causes MSN to disappear + not restartable! *solved*
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?

RE: Bug: Ctrl + space causes MSN to disappear + not restartable!
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 :P
also in plus preferences (in the privacy tab) you can disable it by unticking the box or change the shortcut.

:)

lol :D

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 :)
