Gah, iChat is killing me! Any ETA on a fix?

(0.89.1 doesn't work for me either. AIM fight score of 7K or so, IIRC.)

Yeah, seems that way. I wish there was a way for me to make it stop...

(...and so, we're back to where we started ;))

Yep, looks like it, if that's what the word "Meta" under their icon in the Info window means :)

As far as I can recall, yes. Of course, no one I know with multiple accounts on the same service is online so I can't confirm it...

Anyway, I do know that I often see the bar, and that I have never, not once, changed one of the menu selections.

Since you only have one account per service, you won't even get the popup, but to me it is very useful.
But I do see it when the other person has more than one account on the same service (even though I always want to reply to the one the original IM came from).

Also remember that we're not even talking about changing the default behavior. This would just be an option. As for "necessity," if someone always wants to accept the default to/from selections made by Adium, then the widget no longer needs to be displayed at all. Heck, even if they want t...

So you're willing to have any sort of UI appear unrequested in new message windows, with no option to disable it, as long as it disappears when you send the first reply? How about a few more buttons and panes? How about a sheet? How about a drawer? It'd obviously get annoying at some point. What's y...

It only appears in new windows where it is potentially needed, though. If it stayed there continuously, I would totally understand your annoyance at it... but I just can't agree that it's an annoyance when you don't have to interact with it at all to accept its default behavior and make it go away....

I'd like to be able to request that little bar, in the rare case where I need it, at any time in any window. You can. Any behavior that would open the window -- double clicking in the contact list, or File->New Chat -- will show it. Hm, that's a bit non-obvious, but okay. If you add the Message ite...

There are always 2 or more items in at least one of the lists. Hm, maybe I've just been looking in one menu. If I find an instance where there's just one item in both, I'll file a bug :) It is indeed for selecting source account and destination contact. When you receive a message, it is for determi...

The funny bar with the two pop-up menus

Can someone explain the purpose of that bar with the two pop-up menus that sometimes appears at the top of message windows? It seems to contain the sender's IM accounts in one menu and the recipient's IM accounts in the other, but I can't tell why it appears when it does, nor exactly what I can do w...
