A conversation window opens unexpectedly when you press ENTER in the Search box in Office Communicator 2007 or in Office Communicator 2007 R2

SYMPTOMS

You search for a contact in Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 or in Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2. After you type the name of the contact in the Search box and press ENTER, a conversation window opens unexpectedly.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because Office Communicator 2007 or Office Communicator 2007 R2 does not recognize the status of Input Method Editor (IME). When you input characters by using IME, these characters are used when you press ENTER. However, Office Communicator 2007 or Office Communicator 2007 R2 handles the action in the same manner as when you are not using IME.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
