When recording events using an xml file, the resulting recorded events display very large, as if zoomed way up. I've tried normal zooming techniques (Ctrl+mouse wheel), to see if something will reduce them, but they have no effect. I've also looked at the settings in Plus - Preferences - Messenger - Event Logging, but other than Save in a plain text file, I don't see any way to change the display.

As a work-around, I can record events as plain text. But, this is unsatisfying, since the largeness appears to be a bug (I get this problem on one computer, but not the other).

If I open the .xml files using IE7, they initially display very large, just as they do using the Log Viewer. If I reset the zoom level in IE7 to 100%, however, the fonts return to normal size.

If I edit the xml file and remove  encoding="UTF-16" from the first line, the file now displays correctly using Messenger Plus' Log Viewer.

Using:

Windows XP Pro (SP2)
Windows Live Messenger 8.0 (Build 8.0.0812.00)
Messenger Plus! Live 4.01.0.240

hum... anybody else having that lind of issue with IE7 (final of course) ?

A workaround in the log viewer that should work temporarily is to let Ctrl pressed and use the scroll button of your mouse to change the size. (click in the IE control first to give it the focus).

Just checked, don't have this issue

Windows XP Service Pack 2 (5.1.2600)
Windows Live Messenger 8.01.0068 (8.1 beta)
Messenger Plus! Live 4.10 beta
Internet Explorer 7 Final

I can't use Ctrl+Scroll in the log viewer BTW (just like hairyhermitcrab said too). Clicking the control first doesn't help. Ctrl+Scroll in IE7 itself works fine.

I had this issue before installing IE7 final, so it's not related to the final, per se. However, I did use IE7 beta. OTOH, I used the same series of betas and now IE7 on the laptop on which the problem is not occurring.

Yes... IE7 no longer works with Ctrl+Mouse Wheel (for me anyway) - WHY?? It works in IE7 itself but not Maxthon ... seems MS put in a bug?
