WIM (WoW Instant Messenger) v3

275 - RealID - Still getting the player not found

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Talk with a realID friend, minimize the windows (do not close it)
2. Press "R" to do a reply
3. Minimize again
4. Redo steps 1. to 3. a couple of times.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
-After a certain time you're going to see "No player named [RealID] is currently playing.".
I know this problem was supposed to be fixed in 3.5.1 but for some reasons it reappears a bit when you talk a lot with realID. I have to close the windows (shift-click) and reopen it so I can now starts talking with realID again. So far I've seen that happen a lot when I'm in an instance or in combat.

What version of the product are you using?
3.5.1 downloaded from WoW Curse (Manually, and with their updater)

Do you have an error log of what happened?
No log.

Please provide any additional information below.
-I have uploaded two screenshots to show that I have downloaded and installed the correct version of WIM.
-Please note for the screenshot of the WIM pop-up ingame, it says version 0.4.2 and not  0.5.1 and I've contacted a couple of people who uses WIM and they also see it, even though they updated it.
-I also tried deleteting the WIM.lua in the WTF folder, but I still have the problem.
