My list window is really messed up. When i have yahoo messenger maximized and taking up the whole screen about 2/3 of the way to the right side of the screen, the list is chopped off. If people’s stats are long it just cuts them off with a big wall of a tan color…. Its not really messing anything up just bothering me seeing a large wall spanning the entire list top to bottom on the right side of the screen. The odd thing is is that on my Mothers profile on this computer. When she opens up her yahoo messenger its perfectly fine. Its just under my profile under this computer. Any suggestions?
I have also tried reinstalling yahoo…Please, has anyone else had this problem?
This is due to some limits in the list window’s structure of Y!m: 255 characters and 600 pixels.
It could be a problem with a skin you are using… try changing to a different one and see if the problem is still there. (Messenger menu, change skin…)
The problem is in the inner window of the list and the way Y!m v6 and v7 are written there’s not much we can do about the list, you can see many things changed with different skins but not the list background. You can put a long text as status but in the list window the whole line is cut at 600 pixel counting from the left border, the other thing is Y!m uses Treeview to display the list and Treeview can only take 255 characters.
The gray wall on the right side changes to white when Y!m receives a status change. No gray wall if the window is expanded by moving the left or right border instead of clicking the maximize button.
