The ST chat window that refuses to go away

Tags: Lotus Notes Bug 8.0.1

It's been a while since I ran into a new 'feature' in 'Beta 5' (as 8.0.1 is called over in the #notes channel on EFNet (irc)), but here it is.

When trying to close out of a ST chat window the client throws this usefull error message at me:
A picture named M2

The chat window disappears to the background but is still listed in the taskmanager.

when I try to restore it to the foreground I get this (with windows Paint program in the background):

A picture named M2

In this state it's not possible to close out of the box. switching back and forth between the client and the chat window eventually addes the titlebar with the red square + white cross to close the window (and even then it can take up to 4 tries before it actually closes)

I so hope that 8.0.2 and/or 8.5 is going to rid us of these annoying features - that and the possibility for me to sync my iphone with notes of course
