Windows Live Messenger - Always on top

I did a search and didn't find this posted. Sorry if it has been before.

Every time someone sends an IM with Windows Live, the window pops up on
top of whatever else I'm doing. Not just new IMs but every single time I
minimize the convo window, it pops back up again. The "always on top" is
NOT checked. None of the other IM services I use do this. Please Help!

Greetings,

This could be two things.

The first is when you're appearing offline, in which case when messages aren't sent directly
to you, their window will take keeping focus. Unfortunately there's nothing you can do about
that besides changing your status.

The second is that you're using some third-party Messenger tool like a script in Messenger
Plus (note that Plus itself does not have this feature, it would be a script you installed)
or some other similar software. In which case all you have to do is remove the script or
software in question.

Ahhh! So THAT'S it. Yes, I always appear offline. If I don't, then
get bombarded with IMs all at once. But this doesn't happen with any o
the other IM services that I use. Oh well, at least now I know what i
causing it. Thank you very much. :

Hi,

It's one of those silly bugs that's never been addressed sadly.
