Interesting bugfix, or break Skype completely
After a recent article, everyone probably began (more often) to use tags for "more convincing." well, for example
well or more convincing
Well, here, in what it poured out:
have not figured it out yet?

It became interesting, what is the upper limit for the size attribute.
when sending
big blackdot goes away square
but when sending
A window appeared with the error "The parameter is incorrect"
Well, young people, there is a check. But how am I surprised that "at the other end of the line" the same mistake popped up. and after re-sending, the exception “Exception EOutOfResources in module at 001375FE” fell and Skype crashed (again, “on that side of the wire”), and I got off with another alert about the wrong parameter.
Even from side effects - the story disappears in the window where the “evil point” was sent (if you switch between contacts).
Already at home, it turned out that if Skype was updated to the latest version, then the errors still pass.
BUT, if you completely remove Skype and install the latest version from scratch, the error is not reproduced.
However, in this case there is another interesting fact - from the "new clean" Skype you can no longer send html (to ctrl + shift + click on "send") already fixed, so fixed.
Messages like "point of death" comes in such Skype as a simple big point.
Not sure that this situation can be called “fixed”, so after a brief search I found
jira.skype.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa
or rather
jira.skype.com/browse/SCW (jira for win Skype) and posted a bug to them.
Wrote an article (in 08.02.2012 23:50 gmt + 3) but did not dare to publish it, until the answer from Skype.
UPD: I received a response to a posting bug - if you install the latest version of Skype downloaded from the site (5.8), the bug is not reproduced, and html is no longer sent. The missing story is also back.
PS The purpose of this message is to notify the public about the danger, and to catalyze the mass update of Skype to the corrected version. (in no case do you need to send out the "point of death" en masse)
