Messages issue with Mountain Lion! (Applecare notified)

[Nick A]

Tested on multiple computers, it seems that when someone calls you into a video chat on messages (AIM) and there's multiple people in the call, it shows only the person who started it and their video looks as if you were looking into a curved mirror with the whole thing stretched out.

With 1 person the call works fine, and if you initial the call it works fine. However when someone else calls you and there's more then 1 person, the problem appears. (AIM)

I notified Applecare and they had no record of this. I tried multiple things like a call in safe mode to rule out extensions causing the issue, reset PRAM, removed messages folder in library and various other things. The problem is also on 2 different computers each running 10.8. Two different networks as well, one wireless the other wired.

Not sure if this is a problem with everyone running 10.8, but it would be nice if people would comment on the issue and try to replicate the problem so Apple can release a fix.

To replicate:
- Open messages and login with your AIM account (not tested on any others.)
- Have someone call another person in a video chat, then call you.

If you have the same issue or not post here and let me know.

Anyone?

Anyone?

You may have trouble getting responses with your particular configuration. I don't know anyone that uses AIM anymore... I use iMessage or SMS and video chat with FaceTime almost exclusively. Even if I remembered my AIM credentials, finding someone capable of video chat, after they recovered they're log in credentials would be a second challenge. This may be why few are responding.

Unfortunately, if this is an exclusive issue with AIM, it may be a while before a fix as relatively few people still use AIM.

I may try when I'm home this evening and have ML installed. Good luck!
