KNOWN ISSUES (Thanks to freakout and Abyssul)
=============================================
• Can't add to buddy list
• When typing in a contact the icons for icq,live and facebook near "IM with XXXX Using:" are missing. (See picture attachment)
• Once you install the mod and add a Windows Live account to Messaging, Synergy will pull your buddies into the Contacts application. But if you then try and link those WL contacts with other contacts, the Edit Contact view will freeze up on the "Linking..."
• Slightly more scary is that once you've linked the WL contact, it will leave you completely unable to edit contact details for that person. All the information you've previously entered is still there - but you won't be able to see it or change it. The contact card will be blank, apart from their contact pic.
• To add insult to injury, the WL contact will then become the Primary contact, making their WL username permanently display.
