I haven't seen that bug. Working fine for me.

Then your enterprise is not using the Sametime 7.5 server.

http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/58 is the bug listed under pidgin's bug tracker. There is one under sourceforge's bug trackers for both meanwhile AND pidgin's sourceforge page. This is such a show stopper for some people so I don't understand why the developers haven't looked at it more closely.

For me, yes, it is still an issue.

Things I noticed... there is a new mail notification bar. Kinda nice. The app also uses your PC speaker when you backspace too far which is extremely annoying and I hope they kill that in the next release.

No PSM for MSN yet, which should (afaik) have been in this version :(
damnit >_< they really need to hurry up with the whole MSNP14 integration... it first was on the roadmap for 2.2.1, then pushed to 2.2.2 which was delayed according to the roadmap, now it's finally out and still no msnp14 =.=

If you're signed in and their status changes then you'll get the changes... but when you first sign in it doesn't get EVERYONE's statuses. This is most obvious when you have a public group from the corporate directory on your buddy list - usually like the first person on the list will report the proper status while the rest don't even show up.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
