Hi Luke, You are correct, I had pasted a small screenshot after the "all they see is:" comment and somehow it got filtered out. Anyway, I tried this again last night with two laptops side by side. Machine-1: WinXP-SP2 Gaim 2.0.0beta3.1 Machine-2: WinXP-SP2 Windows Live Message Machine-1 Screen: JSlater says: ping Terry says: hey there! JSlater says: wanna do lunch? Terry says: yes, sounds good JSlater says: when and where? Machine-2 Screen: JSlater says: =20 Terry says: hey there! JSlater says: =20 Terry says: yes, sounds good JSlater says: =20 Machine-2 can't see anything I'm typing, but I can see both sides of the conversation in Gaim (on machine 1).

I've seen this happen before, particularly when using non-standard colors with Gaim. --Lee |
