FWIW, I''''m experiencing this also, but only if I click on someones nick in a message thread (i.e to see their ID # or desktop etc).
Further investigation reveals: in my case it only happens on the first attempt (at clicking someone''''s nick... etc) after opening a new thread. So if I make a second attempt (in the same thread), it succeeds.
Yet further checking: does not occur consistently when opening new threads. Jus tjumped to 2 new threads & it worked OK.
All the above from SDC.
Hope it helps.
