IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 Release Notes
Note the following issues that may affect users who have a physical disability, such as restricted mobility
or limited vision:
z Do not turn on the tabbed chat window for multiple chats feature (by selecting File -> Preferences,
clicking Chat Window, and selecting Use tabbed windows for multiple chats .) Screen readers do not
always correctly read the user interface for this feature. Please note that this feature is turned off, by
default.
z In the chat window text message entry field, it is not possible to select another background or
foreground text color using keyboard shortcuts. The selected color does not take effect. Instead, in
the chat window, use the Edit > Text Properties menu to do this.

Voice/video chat doesn't show that participant unmuted himself
If a voice or video chat participant unmutes himself after being muted by the call moderator (initiator), the
Lotus Sametime Connect user interface will continue to show the participant as muted, even though
everyone can now hear him. This problem will be addressed in the next Sametime Connect release.
In the meantime, do not rely on the user interface to correctly indicate your mute status. Ask others on the
call if they can hear you before saying anything that should not be heard by others.

Click-to-call only works with primary community
You can only use the click-to-call capability if that feature is enabled for your primary community, even if
you log in to other communities where that feature is enabled. This restriction does not apply to voice
chat.

"$" character in business card retrieving data from Domino LDAP
Domino LDAP adds the "$" sign to the postalAddress attribute. Therefore, when users' details are
being retrieved from Domino LDAP, the value for Location contains "$" signs. Since the value of this field
is a concatenation of 3 other fields in the Name and Address Book (City, State/Province, and Country), a
possible workaround is to fill only one of these fields.
