Google Talk user-interface annoyance
Several times a day, I get irritated by following issues in Google Talk user-interface:-
- Moving mouse over contact list brings up the contact-info popup. Which is quite irritating and leads to another annoyance mentioned in next point.
- While accessing the scrollbar, very often, I have to go through contact-list area and that brings up the contact-info popup, which stops me accessing scrollbar. I have to click somewhere else or move mouse out to get rid of popup. I believe, there should be good amount of gap between contact list and scrollbar.
Yahoo! messenger doesn't have these issues. I get to see contact-info only when mouse is over buddy-icon, which is on left-side. One fix, it solved two issues.

And whilst we're talking google improvements... when you view a message straight from a googlemail notifier alert, there should be a report spam button on the page with the email!

In yahoo it also open buddy info as soon as you roll over any buddy name not just on left buddy icon. I think its same effects in both, I think Windows Live Messenger has better way to display it.
