ALT button issue-Windows Live Messenger

[zuN]

Hi the issue with my Windows Live Messenger regarding the ALT button is that the File drop down won't disappear. Normally, you hit it once to drop down the menu (File Edit Action Tools Help) and hit it again to make it disappear.

While alt-tabbing between two Messenger windows, a full-screen game maximized by itself while i was holding ALT. When i alt-tabbed from the game back to my Messenger window, the ALT drop down menu was there permanently. Since this occured in version 8.5.1302, i believed that the problem would disappear in the new Windows Live Messenger 2009. However, it is still there.

This issue only occurs in my Windows Live Messenger conversation windows. I would appreciate some help to make the ALT drop down menu not permanent. Thanks

I don't use messenger, but have you searched in the options menu?

Yes, I have searched through the options menu. I do not believe that the settings in Options deals with the ALT drop down menu being permanent since I have the same settings on my laptop which does not have this issue.
