iChat : crazy behavior in general~
Okay, so I have an AOL account that I use for work. Once upon a time I selected an icon to represent me during IM's....I could only select from AOL's preset choices.
I also have the AIM client, which I never tried fiddling with to set up a user icon....I only did that in AOL itself.
Now I have iChat, and I proceed to create a new icon for myself. In a chat last night (actually early this AM) The Installer showed me how to change my icon from the generic instant messenger icon to my own custom icon.
THEN, late this morning I was chatting with a friend and my icon suddenly, inexplicably switched to the AOL icon. So, I log out of iChat. I log onto AOL, I go to the prefs and I select "no icon" for myself during IM's.
I log off of AOL and log back into iChat and proceed to have weirdness reign supreme.
Apparently SHE see's my new logo, but in my Buddy List and my Rendezvous List I still see the stupid-ass little generic icon that I had selected from AOL Lo those many years ago.
Reallly weird.
When I log out of iChat it reverts back to my custom icon that I want to use all the time.
Anybody else notice this behavior? Is there a bug report line to Apple for stuff like this?

There is actually quite a few buggy things in iChat. For instance, when replying to a fresh message, it doesn't always show up if you type too fast. If you type two messages in a row real fast, and seamlessly press the Return key and hit another key right after it, it gets all screwed up.
I'm praying some of this stuff gets fixed in 10.2.1.
