On return from Away, weird drop down dialog on all IMs
Using AIM 4.7 and AIM+ and WinXP, when I return from being away and check my IMs that people have sent me, I see a dropdown dialogue with screennames whom I guess I have typed in to send an Instant message at one point or another on the tops of the IM boxes when I click on the person's name. I know it is rather confusing to understand what I am saying without actually seeing it. I would be happy to explain further, unless someone can follow along. Anyway, great program!

Screenshot of the error
While trying to force the "error" to happen again, I couldn't get it to, but it finally happened again, so I took a screenshot. It is quite peculiar because I just went back to the IM box where it happened and the dialog box no longer appears. Well, I hope this screenshot clears up things, whether or not you can get this to happen, I am not sure. The list of screennames in the dialog box seem to be ones whom I have sent instant messages to by typing their name in a new box. I am not sure though.

New AIM beta
When I did use the AIM beta, I got the "clone" bug so I went back to 4.7. A stupid dropdown is nothing compared to the "clone" bug.
yeah...
I know what you mean about double clicking, it usually does nothing for me. I right now don't remember how I got to see the person's IM and it couldn't have been through clicking on I'm back because the away window was still there, so I must have double clicked. It is probably the cause of the dropdown box, but its a bit strange.
One more time
Sorry for the multiple posts, but I have duplicated it and its when I double click on someone's screenname on my away list. Don't know if this is an AIM error or an AIM+ thing though.
CONCLUSION
Last one on this, it's an AIM 4.7 thing at least, NOT AIM+! I got the same thing when I signed on with only AIM. It has nothing to do with your program! One less bug to catch!
