Description
Current solution
Accessibility
Accessibility features have not yet been completed in this new release. However, we plan to release a new version with accessibility support in the near future.
If you require these features, we recommend that you continue to use the previous version of Skype. www.skype.com/go/getskype-accessibility
Instant Messaging
When copying a large amount of text, (approximately 20 lines or more) in an instant message, and pasting it to the text input field of the same conversation, the ability to scroll or edit the pasted text is not working.
Users are advised to copy / paste small amounts of text until this is resolved.
Instant Messaging
When copying and pasting a web address (URL) link within the same instant messages, the URL appears as a blank line.
Users are advised to manually type in the web address link.Copy and Pasting to/from different IM’s has no problems.
Video
Skype crashes when trying to start a video call when the camera is being used by another application. This issue is known to affect the following webcams:
* Creative webcams Live
* Cam Video IM Pro Live
* Cam Voice Live
* Cam Vista IM
Users are advised to close the application using the Webcam before making a video call with Skype.

Skype can become unresponsive when the hard drive is busy.
Users are advised to wait for a few seconds for the hard disk activity to reduce.

Users with a large amount of Skype history may find that Skype takes longer than normal to start.
Reducing the number of items in the Conversations tab helps alleviate this problem slightly – our engineers are currently working on further solutions.
