Hi guys
I'm using Windows Live Mail (Previously known as Windows Live Mail Desktop) since many months and I'm very much impressed with it.
But when I installed the latest Windows Live Mail Beta version, I found a few BUGs in this version which I would like to share with you all:
FIRST BUG:
This BUG works in laptops.
1. Open WLM and right-click on its system tray icon and select "Hide window when Inbox is minimized" option.
2. Now minimize WLM and it'll move to System Tray and there'll be no button of WLM in taskbar.
3. Now close the lid and again open it.
4. VOILLA, you'll get WLM in taskbar again even you minimized it to System tray.
SECOND BUG:
Goto "Layout -> Folder Pane" and enable/disable "Use Compact View for Folder Pane" option and then click on "Apply" button but don't close it. It'll totally disturb the left side pane.
THIRD BUG:
Again goto "Layout -> Active Search" and enable/disable "Show Active Search pane" option and click on "Apply" button but don't close the options window. It'll not show the Active Search at right side until you close the options window. As soon as you click on OK or on Close button, you'll get Active Search at right side pane.
FOURTH BUG:
If you click on "Change Color Scheme" button at toolbar, WLM titlebar changes to inactive state.

i have the same problem when i open the lid on my HP 6715B.
it didnt happen on my old Dell though
VG
^^ Yep. It happens in some specific laptop brands. Even sometimes it happens in desktops too while playing full screen games.
Alex Sheppard
is there a registry edit or reghack to stop this?
VG
Nope. Sorry but its an programming bug and can't be fixed by registry. I have reported this bug to WLM team and I hope they'll fix it soon.

another bug:
1. open a message to read
2. highlight some text and press ctrl-c, and it will be copied into clipboard
3. open some other application so the message window you were reading loses its focus
4. go back to the same message window, highlight some other text, and press ctrl-c, this time, the text will not make it into the clipboard
and windows live team won't acknowledge it.
VG
^^ I tried to re-create it but its not happening. I was able to copy the text everytime. Are you using the latest Windows Live Mail version? Mine version is "12.0.1606".
Jimbo
Thanks for trying it... maybe that is why Microsoft said they couldn't reproduce it either... and yes, I am using the latest version. In fact, I just uninstalled all windows live apps and reinstalled them yesterday, and it is still doing so on my computer... it may also be a computer-specific things
VG
^^ Yep. It seems machine-specific bug.
Jimbo
that is the worst kind of bugs because they are the last to be fixed...
the Following bug will probably not show up on your machine, either since it is related to losing focus/getting focus back
1. open a composer window to write a new message, but do not put any recipients
2. write something into the body of the email
3. click send
4. a warning pops up saying you must specify some recipients
5. click OK to make the warning go away
6. after I click on the "To:" field, no matter how hard I type, nothing will show up...
VG
^^ Great find. I checked it and its true. Also the funny thing is:
When you can't type in "To:" field, click in message area and then again click in "To:" field. Although the "To:" field will get activated, the text you'll type will be shown in message area.
Good find.
