BETA 3: Chatting while away, text disappears during reply

Post by Trikes122 »

While chatting-while-away, if i am in the middle of typing something and the other person enters something before i finish, my away message will suddenly post on the screen and the text i am typing will disappear.

The first time you talk while away, the away message will post (this makes sense). But it seems like aim/middleman 'forgets' this happened every now and then, and when the other person types something, it will trigger my away message to post again, automatically clearing everything ive typed in the box.

It does not happen every time, but it does happen frequently.

not sure if this is an AIM problem or not, but never happened with previous version of middleman.

Lemme know if you need more details, but i dont think i can give many more.

Middleman 3.0003
Windows xp, sp2
AIM 5.9.6089
no other add-ins or modifications

The first issue is a problem with AIM itself. The second is also AIM's doing but is a feature, not a bug - it re-sends the away message once every certain interval of time (I believe 15 minutes, can't remember).
